Step into a piece of local history, restored with care and built for modern living. Originally constructed in the mid to late 1800s, this remarkable home is believed, through historic research, to have been built by Herman Zorn, who emigrated from Prussia. The Fairview Cemetery is home to the Zorn family plot, tying this property to the area’s earliest roots. In the early 1940s, the home was converted from a single-family residence into three apartments. After the 2008 housing crisis, the property fell into foreclosure and faced an uncertain future. That changed in 2010. What followed was not a simple renovation. It was a full-scale revival driven by vision, hard work, and respect for the home’s character. The interior was taken down to the studs and completely reimagined in 2010-2011 with new walls, a redesigned layout, updated flooring, modern plumbing, and all new electrical. The former west-side three season porch was insulated and thoughtfully incorporated into the main home, adding valuable living space that now includes a functional mudroom, walk-in pantry, and main-level laundry room. A welcoming wraparound front porch was added, creating the perfect place to relax and enjoy the setting. Inside, the home blends historic charm with modern comfort. The spacious primary suite features a private ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and fireplace. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms and a separate full bath. A main-level bedroom or office adds flexibility for guests, work, or multi-generational living. A full attic provides excellent storage or future potential. Major updates continue to show true pride of ownership: • Dishwasher replaced in 2021 • Clothes dryer replaced in 2022 • Washing machine and refrigerator replaced in 2024 • New concrete patio added in 2024 • Exterior of home painted in 2025 • Exterior of garage painted in 2026 • Fresh interior paint throughout in 2026 This is more than a house. It is a rescued historic home, rebuilt with determination, maintained with discipline, and loved for over a decade. For the next owner, it offers something rare: character, history, space, and the confidence of extensive updates already completed!
