Take a walk back in time with this classic Lustron home! Built in 1949 for the returning soldiers from world war II, this all metal home was designed to be spacious and practical. Everything is metal including the roof, inside walls, outside panels, even the ceiling. There is quite a following of these homes, if you google Lustron homes you will see how cool they can look when finished. A classic mid-century modern look that will never go out of style. Short term (STR) airbnb rentals are permitted in this area, and the unique nature of this home would surely draw a crowd. Electrical, plumbing, and gas lines have been recently updated. The mechanicals (Furnace, water heater, and A/C) will be required. Let your imagination run wild, and bring this classic home back to its glory days.
