This Historical Crawford County home could be yours today for $120,000! This 4 bedroom, 5 full baths and 2 half bath home was built in 1860 by Dr. Steven Meserve, and it was the second of the three homes built by the Meserve family. The original design of the house was a 2 story, 9 room square brick home. The brick came from the Barlow brickyard in Hutsonville, IL. Mr. Barlow was the father of Mrs. Meserve. The walls in this home are 14 inches thick of solid brick! The woodwork is beautiful and consists of original wide solid walnut crown and base molding. The baseboards are some of the tallest I've seen and they pair well with the extra tall ceilings! This home has 3 fireplaces and most of the interior doors are solid wood and original to the house.There were several additions added later by owners including the carport, front porch, East room, and back porch.The pine trees in front of the home were brought from the Embarras river bottoms and they are as old as the house itself!! This home sits on about 1.38 acres and there is additional acreage behind the home-- A tract of land that consists of nearly 4.5 acres that is listed separately, but could be purchased with the home. A discount will be offered for a bundle deal if there is interest in both the home and acreage available behind the home. You've got to see the potential this home offers!!
