Historical Ottumwa home built in grand style and located in the heart of Ottumwa on 2+ acres. Sprawling room sizes with tall ceilings, former maid's quarters with back stair case. Impressive front box stair case with sky light lit stained circle glass ceiling...very unique and very impressive! Hallway to the library features a gentle barrel-top ceiling; both rooms in black walnut. Many unusual features from a time long gone by...are there more secret storage panels yet to be discovered? Spectacular lot with orchard, outdoor fireplace place for grand yard parties, a once exotic flower garden and the original John Morrell guard house! Fireplaces in the master bedroom which features a master bath and built-in cabinetry with lighted vanity, a fireplace in the library as well as the formal dining room and great room. Oh! The possibilities! As much as this one-of-a-kind property has to offer....it is in need of total interior and exterior renovation.
