Historic charm abounds in this beautiful Queen Anne Style home. Located in Corydon’s historic district, built during the Victorian expansion era. This home was occupied by only 2 families for 100 years, but now has been fully updated. Modern updates but all the original character has been retained! 1st floor primary suite w/ claw foot tub, original pedestal dual sinks, shower & double closets. Original oak hardwood floors throughout, built-in china cabinet & many OG light fixtures too. The enclosed back porch has become home to the washer/dryer, half bath and mechanicals. Upstairs you’ll find 3 more bedrooms & full bath. It can be challenging to find an updated historic home that also offers a FANTASTIC yard. This has it all. The deep lot is partly fenced and offers a view of Indian Creek along the back (this home did not flood during the summer 2026 event), walking trails & Rice Island. Updates include but not limited to: Metal roof, electrical, plumbing, most windows, storm doors, all electric HVAC (2 of them) & wtr heater. Walk to the downtown festivals, shopping and dining.
Priced BELOW recent appraisal. This 1896 Victorian style 2 sty is w/ in walking distance of downtown, Rice Island & Indian Creek Walking Trail. Only 2 families have lived in the home since it was built. The unique gingerbread trim, old-style chimneys, & large upper windows offer an abundance of charm & light thru out the day. The int. features 4 bdrs w/ ample closet space in each & 2.5 baths. Original refinished oak HW floors in all living areas retain the historic character & all baths have been newly tiled. The main bathroom includes original clawfoot tub, original Jack & Jill pedestal sinks, & a newly installed shower. ALL NEW HVAC, plumbing, electrical, ground floor windows, gas hot water heater, 200 amp service & spray-in foam insulation from the crawl space to the attic peak.
