3 bedroom single family home on a cliff overlooking the White River. Staircase down to the river, which splits here going around an island, of which you would own half. We built the only bridge to this island. Great place for bonfire or fishing from the stone retainer wall where the river turns. 3 levels of balcony, screened porch and a covered porch on the other side. Basement with full bath could be another apartment if you wanted. Parking in garage for 2 cars, in driveway for 20+ cars. Super nice neighborhood where everything is This early 20th Century home was owned for years by a retired businessman and Navy carrier pilot who kept it up very well. My brother and I were the groundskeepers. We mowed the yard, helped install the bridge to the island on the White River, cleaned the gutters, brought the gun safe in the house, fixed his computer, etc. etc. Before this neighborhood was built up, it was kind of remote so the former owner installed a generator which kicks on in the event of loss of electricity. It is an amazing thing to be the only person in the area with power during an outage. The former owner moved West in his later years and when he put this house up for sale, we made an immediate bid. Due to our knowledge of the home and all the work we had done, he sold it to us at a steep discount. All the homes in the area are selling, even in this market, for over $400,000. Now I am in the Army and my brother is taking a government job forcing him to move to Chicago soon. We really thought this would be our family homestead. We grew up in the area and we always saw this home as "perfect" for us, and one of the nicest in this area. It still is. You must see it. We renovated the bathroom upstairs with heated floors and we have maintained it very well. If you look in the Muncie area, unless you build your own home, you will not find a better neighborhood, a nicer view, or a more solid place. Make us an offer and we will negotiate. |
