The Classic Prairie Home You’ve Been Waiting For
Step back into an era of elegance and solid craftsmanship. Built in the 1918, this stunning two-story red / brown brick home is a rare find, offering the warmth and soul of a heritage property with the modern reliability you need. Nestled in a quiet, mature residential neighborhood, this home is surrounded by other historic properties and towering trees, preserving a peaceful, timeless atmosphere.
"In 1984, we didn’t just buy a house; we finally captured a dream.
For a long time, my wife and I would walk past this stately 1918 brick home on 2nd Street, admiring its strength and character. We used to tell each other, ‘If that house ever goes for sale, that’s the one.’ When the 'For Sale' sign finally appeared, the excitement was overwhelming. We knew it was meant to be the place where we would build our future.
For over 40 years, these walls have echoed with the sounds of our four children growing up. It was the perfect stage for every milestone—from first steps to graduation photos.
Our pride and joy, however, has always been the backyard. We spent decades transforming it into a private sanctuary. We meticulously laid the brickwork for the garden planters to match the heritage of the house. Later years, we built a sandbox and built a playhouse and saw our grandchildren spend years of childhood imagination. Whether it was hosting large family gatherings on the expansive deck, enjoying quiet mornings on the patio, or finding a new favorite corner to sit and relax, the yard was designed for enjoyment.
We are ready to pass the keys to someone who will appreciate the history and continue the legacy of this dream home. It has been a place of immense joy for our family of six, and it is ready to be the same for yours."
