About this home

This home was built in 1970 but it's history far exceeds that! The exterior Chicago brick, ceiling beams, fireplace mantle and floor joists were all salvaged from a structure here in Independence. Schedule a showing for more information (book with information about history on premises). Exquisite character throughout! The kitchen features a built in oven and electric grill in the brick wall. The flooring is also brick. Directly off the kitchen is laundry and bath. The other side of the kitchen has an large dining area with a Dutch door to the private back yard patio. The Living room has plenty of space to entertain and enjoy the gas fireplace. The walls are lined with Grasscloth wallpaper. This very elegant and expensive paper is tough to find for less than $60.00 a single roll. The main floor also has a den/study, full bath and master bdrm with THREE closets. The upstairs hairs two bedrooms, closet, closet, closet, bath and more closets! Owner is also leaving an antique pool table, pool cue rack and bead counter with the property. It came from another historic building in Indee.
