This Stately Grandeur 3 bedroom home built in 1915 is looking for it's next chapter. From the wrought iron fence to the original hardwood floors, beautiful woodwork, pocket doors, the leaded glass windows allow all the natural light into the gracious formal living areas are really stunning. The front porches were the common places to gather family and friends. The upstairs sleeping porch is now the laundry room next to the full bath. This prestigious property was once owned by some of the founders of the community of Sumner and built this one to last. The Sellers have made improvement over the many years and most recently a new steel roof in 2022 to save this gem of a home. The porch railings are saved and will stay with the home. This is a fantastic opportunity for a discerning Buyer to put their own touches on this great historic home. Located by the Sumner Library and Water Tower Park downtown Sumner, IA.
