Realtor Comments
Situated along the main street in Dallas City, this two-story home was built in appx. 1910. The original woodwork and built-ins are typical of a house built in the era and add character to a home that was well loved for many years. A small front room at the entry leads to a spacious dining and living room as well as a side room that has been used as an office. The kitchen is in the back of the house with access to back porch, yard and basement. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. For a period of time in the 1920s the upstairs was used as an apartment which the small kitchen area still reflects. Geothermal heating , a newer roof and aluminum siding provide a great foundation for making this house a family home once again. Outside the back yard and lot stretch to the railroad easement making a perfect spot for a garden or fenced in yard. With some TLC and a vision for what can be done… this might just be the house you need to create a forever home. Call your realtor today and come take a look.
