About this home

Remember Grandma's old Victorian house that you played at as a kid? Now you have the opportunity to have your own Old Victorian home on a corner lot in the small town of Merkel! With the big wrap around front porch, all of the detailed woodwork inside and the two decorative fireplaces, this home NEEDS YOUR TLC! The rooms feel so large on the first floor with the tall ceilings. The upstairs bathroom still has the claw foot tub just waiting to be restored. There is a detached two car garage that's big enough to park in and still have room to work on projects. This home will make a great flip house or a great home for someone! Buyer to verify sq ft.
