About this home
This one is special. Built in 1925, this historic home sits in the heart of a great neighborhood. You've passed by, admired the yard, maybe even attended one of the legendary 'porch parties.' While it is over 100 years old, 1010 has so much life left in it, just waiting for that next special family.
Walking up, envision your life in this house and how to make it your home.
Main House - An inviting front yard and porch welcome you in. Be sure to read the plaque before you step into history (and review the included house history in the MLS docs). The house is not staged, so let your imagination go!
First floor: Living room with fireplace, with access to the stairs, and a large (possible) first-floor bedroom adjacent to a half bath. This flows into the dining room, then into the kitchen, and into the 'laundry' area with a solid sink, before returning to the centrally located stairs.
Second floor: A primary bedroom and bath with a private balcony; two additional bedrooms; a full bath; and laundry. Two large rooms offer flexibility for a studio, office, or additional bedrooms.
Out the back door onto the deck, and it keeps getting better. Great outdoor spaces for memorable family gatherings, play, and simply enjoying time with friends. Former home to a variety of pets and hardworking chickens.
Behind the house is the garage and a separate workshop for tinkering away. Over the garage, former owners built an additional dwelling unit (ADU): an open living space with a Murphy bed. Options include income-producing potential, an in-law or nanny suite, or a guest space--flexibility at its best.
'Hope that you can be the next chapter in 1010's history! The sellers thank all who have shown/seen the historic 1010 W. Markham Ave. house. Final offers will be accepted until tomorrow, Friday, May 1at 5pm. Thank you....
