RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL: Historic homes have a timeless beauty that allows one to romanticize a simpler time in our nation's past. The home at 309 N Polk was built in the mid-1870s, at a time when America was growing and discovering itself as a nation. Cars were yet to be invented, we had just finished a long Civil War, and we were approaching a new century where many revolutions of society would take place. One cannot drive by a home like this without some level of introspection. Are we still the great nation we aspired to become? Are we living up to the vision our founders saw for us? The only thing constant is change. However, some things will outlive the fleeting generational transformations of our society. This home has stood as that constant, in a whirlwind of an evolving nation. When this home was built, it was the centerpiece of the town and was built with thoughtfulness and precision. The design and architecture were a work of art in themselves. The beauty of the curb appeal is evident in the photos but is even more impressive in person. The historic appeal has been preserved by the various owners over the years; however, it has been updated to modern advancements in all of the important areas critical to living in today's world. Some updates include updated wiring, plumbing, tankless water heating, natural gas, a new roof, a pool, and of course...high-speed internet. This home is zoned residential or commercial and would be an amazing place to live or run your business. Schedule your appointment to see this masterpiece and continue the story of 309 N Polk for our generation and the generations to come.
