Located in a quaint historic town, this early-1900s home offers space, character, and convenience. With 3-bedrooms, 2 full baths and high ceilings throughout, the property sits on a large corner lot and includes a 2.5-car detached garage. Several important updates have already been completed, including a full upper roof tear-off in 2024, a new furnace in 2024, and a fully redone back porch in 2024-now enclosed and insulated in both the floors and walls. Original hardwood floors add to the home’s appeal and provide a solid foundation for future updates or personal touches. Just minutes from Petersburg Square - home to restaurants, bars, and local shops - and only moments from Lincoln’s New Salem State Park, this property offers a great location with plenty of potential. Perfect for buyers looking to make a historic home their own.
