450 Main St, Farnhamville, IA 50538

This is an old Victorian Mansion built in 1900 in the Queen Anne style. This house has all the original quarter sawn oak woodwork. It includes all the tall baseboards and 3 pocket doors that function. This home is going to need a lot of renovation to bring it back to the exquisite home that it was 100 years ago. The original tall fireplace with mirror is intact and looks beautiful. The hardwood oak flooring is intact throughout the house. If you're looking to restore a piece of history than this 126-year-old mansion is what you are looking for. There is over 2400 sq. ft. of living space which does not count the full finished attic turned into a master suite with a giant walk-in closet. The woodwork alone in this mansion is breath talking. There are no homes built like this anymore.
5 Bed ∙ 1.5 Bath ∙ 2,428 Sq Ft ∙ 0.57 Ac.
