Historic charm meets country living – selling absolute to the highest bidder! Rich with history and original character, this 2,254 sq. ft. 2-story brick home on 2± acres showcases original doors and wood trim, hardwood floors, pocket doors, built-in china cupboards, and tall ceilings. The home offers 4–5 bedrooms and a main-floor laundry, with key updates including a new furnace, a metal roof, many vinyl replacement windows, and tuck-pointing completed in the early 2000s. Overlooking the scenic Green Bay Bottoms valley, it presents a rare opportunity for a buyer to own a true piece of history and bring their vision to life by updating the interior while preserving its timeless craftsmanship. Adding to the property’s appeal is a well-built 45’ x 65’ machine shed, offering excellent space for equipment, vehicles, or hobbies, and the home is also connected to high-speed fiber internet. Located on a hard-surfaced road with easy access to both Burlington and Fort Madison, this is a scarce chance for historic home enthusiasts and acreage buyers alike.
Auctioneer’s Note: Ideal for historic home enthusiasts and acreage buyers needing space for equipment or toys, as well as restoration-minded purchasers who value original woodwork, pocket doors, and classic brick architecture. This is an absolute auction selling to the highest bidder with easy online bidding so you can register quickly and bid from your phone or computer. Can’t make the open house?
