Agent Comments 

Welcome to a home which has been in the same family for 100+ years. You will find this home on the southernmost street within the Town of Elberfeld limits, just prior to the Kiwanis Park. AS IS cash sale, please. The vinyl siding and windows are newer to the home. Keep in mind this home was occupied last year in its being, but could be updated to Buyer’s taste. Seller had the barn constructed on the property in 1982. It has a level dirt/gravel floor, water hydrant, electricity and one corner having been used as a horse stable. The property is just under 1 acre and has several flower garden beds and a large brick patio measuring 14′ x 25′. There’s a carport area on concrete, measuring 13′ x 21′. There is a covered porch between the carport and entry door to kitchen, and a covered porch measuring 12′ x 6′ at the double front door entry.

If you’re not from Elberfeld or Haubstadt chances are you haven’t seen the common feature of 100+ year-old homes, which is a front door above a front porch. Some of these were used as an entry to the porch for summertime sleeping, when the house interior was too warm. Two front doors on the main level is the other common feature of these historic homes. This home has original hardwood flooring in the two front rooms and in the two upstairs bedrooms, all having closets. Unfinished attic also has this flooring and houses the water heater. The original woodwork and fireplace are characteristic of these homes and is quite unique and lovely. The contoured baseboards are 12 leading to the beautiful trim around the doors and windows. This trim has a floral pattern. The original fireplace in the Living Room is pretty as it has the mirror above, multi-colored tile around the opening and on the hearth. The firebox cover is black with a motif. Adjacent the fireplace is a built-in bookcase.

In the Kitchen you will find a 1950’s range/oven combo, a closet housing the furnace and a shelved pantry. There is storage in the kitchen below the staircase and plenty of space for a table. The Dining Room has a built-in storage closet and the Bathroom is between the Kitchen and Dining Room. Bathroom has vanity, tub/shower combo, newer toilet, medicine cabinet and storage cabinets. After the Dining Room you will find a Laundry Room/Mudroom with shelving and a drainboard sink. There’s parking enough for 6+ vehicles and the barn. Blooming Magnolia, Daffodils and a large yard for gardening or hobbies awaits an appreciative old house enthusiast Buyer!
