About this home
Public Remarks: Rare opportunity to own this historic Lustron home! Known as the Kermit Caves house - only roughly 1,500 Lustron homes remaining in the United States, this home is a gem! Developed post WWII era to address home shortage for returning soldiers by inventor Carl Strandlund. Low-maintenance and extremely durable, they were developed for those who might not have time or interest in repairing and painting conventional wood and plaster houses. With an open floor plan, large living room, and sunroom, enjoying this home is easy. Tons of built-in storage and large bedrooms! Updated vinyl plank flooring throughout, remodeled kitchen, and remodeled shower and tub. Extremely low maintenance with steel exterior, roof and windows! Freshly painted garage and fenced in backyard! This home is a must see!
Kenosha house in the city of Kenosha is bank owned & you can save money. Discover this unique Lustron Home offering 2 bedrooms & one bath. Lustron homes were created in 1950 for the returning servicemen. Carl Strandlund obtained a government grant loan to produce homes of steel with porcelain coated exterior panels. Lustron Corporation built only 2498 of these sought after homes. These homes are designed to be maintenance free & are considered to be three times stronger than a traditional stick built home.
