Set on a 1.24-acre lot, this historic property is ideal for a buyer seeking a fixer-upper with restoration potential or a rural homestead just minutes from town.
Per Douglas County: If the home is demolished, a new home can still be built using the existing setbacks—grandfathered in—so long as construction is started within one year.
While the home is in distressed condition and will require significant renovation, its age and architectural character make it a potential candidate for the National Register of Historic Places, which could qualify you for federal and state restoration grants and tax incentives. This home is NOT currently on the National Register of Historic Places.
