Circa 1873 Second Empire was sold by public auction Aug. 21 at 12:00 noon at the site (subject to a reserve). Price indicated on listing was starting bid for the auction – not the final price. Here is a late 19th Century Mansard home right on Main Street, within eyesight of Arnold Park and walking distance from all Main Street amenities.

The eye catching structure sits on a corner lot with views to the east from the 2nd floor deck and from many of the upstairs rooms. The home once had 3 units, but now it has a large main house plus a 4 room in law apartment that features a new kitchen and bathroom. The main house also has many new features like a recently finished master bedroom with private bath and nearly all new replacement windows. There is a tiled sun porch at the entry with new windows as well. The open staircase, high ceilings, radiators, and bay windows remind you of a bygone era, but the new features make the home very convenient and comfortable.

Come check out this new listing and prepare for the auction sale on Aug. 21. As the owner is moving to smaller quarters, much of the personal property from the house will be sold at auction by Jenkins Auction Service the same day starting at 10:00. Terms of the real estate auction are 5% down by cash, certified or bank check on the day of the auction with the balance due at closing within 45 days. – Per Realtor
