Want to own a piece of American and Ohio manufacturing history? Look no further than this original Lustron home. The Columbus-based Lustron Corporation was a housing manufacturer that produced prefabricated homes made ENTIRELY of enameled steel after WWII. Designed by Carl Sandlund, this home is both economical and low-maintenance featuring custom built-ins throughout. Roughly 2,500 Lustron homes were built between 1948-1950 with fewer than 900 existing in America today. They are increasingly cherished by owners fascinated by their mid-modern charm and efficiency. This model was built in 1950 and offers 2 bdrms and 1 bath with 1013 SF. This home was updated with a wood burning secondary heating system and laminate countertops. Oversized 1 car detached garage at rear. Unique opportunity to own a unique home.
