212 Benton Ave W, Albia, IA 52531

This beautiful brick Victorian home is located just two blocks West of Albia's historical square and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Most recently this property has been used as an attorney's office, zoned residential with commercial use. The beautiful woodwork inside is white walnut. A grand front stairway and six marbleized & slate fireplaces are notable features. A low stone foundation supports the brick, load bearing walls with wrap around porches on the facade and at the rear of the building. Steel shingles cover the complex roof design with some newer replaced rolled roofing on minimal flat surfaces. Your decision where to put bedrooms and kitchen (current kitchen area is on second floor) with extra back winder staircase to main level. A full circle drive on the North side add to the elegance of this property. You have to see this property to fully appreciate what all it could be and the amazing space available.
