Built in 1928

At a time when contemporary architecture and minimalism seem to rule the land, it's comforting to know that storybook homes still exist. This one has retained it's original features from when built in 1928--including the original arched front door, statement fireplace, wall sconces, multipaned windows and architecturally matching two car garage. This 2,882 finished square foot two story home features three bedrooms(one with cedar lined built in dresser), new classic barreled roof 2023, copper gutters, wood beam ceiling, new furnace and A/C 2024, and finished basement with unique and tasteful Tiffany made glazed brick. The home is a time capsule with slight remodeling in 1963 meticulously keeping to the original style and materials. It is believed actor Clark Gable spent the night in the home while researching his movie "To Please A Lady". A movie of local race car builder Murrell Belanger's record breaking 126.244 mph victory of the 1951 Indianapolis 500. The current owner has been content and cozy in this classic home for nearly seven decades. Now it's time to turn the page and allow someone else to write their own story in this classic gem.
