Realtor Comments
The home was at one point meticulously restored and features innumerable original or restored details including wide plank pine flooring, moldings, mantels, wainscotting, staircases and more. The home now needs a new hero to bring it back to life. This home has so much already completed but is ready for updating for today. The rooms are light and bright and expansive. This is the rare opportunity downtown to own a double lot- the backyard at 1010 Polk st is also included in the sale, build a driveway and a garage or just have a huge yard for pets or kids! The back porch looks over the amazing yard. Walk in basement could be finished into income producing apartment. This home has a preservation easement through the Department of Historic Resources.
