For Sale By Owner

Sorry, owner financing is not available at this time.

Do you like the idea of living in a turn of the century home, but insist on central air? Old houses have tons of character that is sorely missing in the newer ones and this is what drew us here 7 years ago. The original two rooms have 9 1/2 ft ceilings, the "crawl space" is really an old cellar (including the steps where it used to come out) and one of the flower beds is lined with antique bricks that we unearthed when we had the shed put in. It's been a blast making these discoveries, and I'm sure that there are more to be made.

The kitchen features custom made wood cabinets, a microwave over the stove, dishwasher, and center island.

In the master bedroom, we built in a book shelf around where the chimney used to be; the stove was removed before we moved in and this was a great use of space. The bookshelf isn't ornate, but is VERY sturdy (I must have 1000 books on it). We've added lots of other shelves and cabinets for added storage.

We've put in hard wood floors in the master BR, kitchen and hallway, and some of that really pretty (and durable) flooring that they sell at Home Depot in the laundry and bath.

If you like gardening or are a wanna be like me, we can vouch for the soil! We've have awesome gardens the two years we've tried, and for you we leave 20 strawberry plants, and one each blueberry, blackberry and grape plants. There are also a lilac bush, irises,a Bradford Pear, some oak trees, etc. The trees are young-but that just means it will be a couple of years before they need maintenance!

Vinyl siding on house and shed, natural gas, public water, new electric water heater, electric hookups for laundry.

You will have AWESOME neighbors. Not every home can boast that. This house is on the smallish side, but it's bigger from the inside. Come see for yourself! It's only a 2 BR, but it would be easy enough to turn it into a 3 BR--we just preferred the big rooms. Our only reason for moving is that our family is growing and we would like some acreage.

Taxes are a LOT cheaper in Lincoln County than in St. Charles County. We are only about 10 minutes from Wentzville and about 3 minutes from Troy.

The washer and dryer CAN be included at no additional cost, but if you don't want them, we can take them with us as well.
