House History

The home was originally built on a 26-acre lot purchased by John A. Foust from E.J. Lily in 1878.  Foust was a local merchant who owned and operated a general store just below the Muse Bros. Store which still exists in Cameron. Mr. Foust’s store sadly burned down around 1885 and was razed. The Foust homestead subsequently was purchased by the Thomas family whose heirs have maintained it for over 100 years. As of 2017 the home housed an antique shop. In 2017, the property was on the market with 26 acres for $275,000.

REALTOR COMMENTS

Fantastic opportunity to make this property your own. Welcoming front porch perfect for a porch swing and rocking chairs. Well maintained exterior! Inside just needs a special touch as you complete a renovation sure to impress your friends! Home has such great potential. Currently, there is not a kitchen and only 1 bathroom. Needs to be renovated! The home comes complete with sheds and beautiful land full of gorgeous trees. Currently the Owner is having a surveyor section off this home from the acreage in the tax records. When complete, the house will come with somewhere between 2-4 acres of land. When looking at the home, the property marker on the left is the tree line, the back is the plowed field and the right goes to the left of the sign in the field. Easy to spot. Home also has 2 bedrooms upstairs that do not have ductwork and so they are not included in the square foot range of 1400-1599sqft. The bedrooms provide an additional approximate 600sqft.
