About this home
You've probably told yourself you can't afford a home like this. Not the mortgage itself, but everything that comes with owning a home built in 1880. The what-ifs. The maintenance. The fear of falling in love with a house and then being house-poor six months later. This listing exists to change that math.
And this is a home worth saying yes to. The woodwork inside was hand-crafted in 1880 and it still defines every room you walk through. The hardwood floors have been professionally refinished and gleam across the entire main level. The rooms have proportion. The ceilings have height. Nothing about this house was built to a builder's minimum spec. It was built by people who cared about getting it right, and you can feel that the moment you're inside.
Your mornings here start in a kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar where someone is always sitting while someone else is always rushing. The formal dining room is for the nights you decide to slow down. First-floor laundry handles itself without stairs. The main-level primary bedroom has its own full bath, giving you a private suite without climbing a single step. Upstairs, three more bedrooms and two more full bathrooms. Everyone gets their own space.
The quarter-acre corner lot has mature trees and a fenced backyard with a private deck. Walk to Uptown Marion shops and dining. An oversized two-car detached garage and a storage shed that actually earns its square footage.
Here's the part that makes all of this work: someone already did the hard part. Over $75,000 in infrastructure upgrades since 2020. New HVAC. 200-amp electrical with updated wiring. All new plumbing and gas water heater. Roof, windows, and insulation upgraded. Hardwood floors refinished. You are not buying a project. You are buying a finished home that happens to have a soul.
The seller is also offering a financial incentive package that could significantly reduce your monthly payment by hundreds of dollars a month for those who qualify. A 1-year home warranty is included. Ask your agent for full details — the numbers are better than you'd expect. You don't have to choose between the home you love and the home you can afford. For once, they're the same home.
