About This Home

**UNMATCHED RESTORATION OPPORTUNITY – HISTORIC WYANDOTTE FARMHOUSE Rare chance to transform a 2,300+ sq ft turn-of-the-century farmhouse into a truly custom showpiece. Taken down to the studs, this property is a blank canvas ready for your vision—offering the potential for 5 bedrooms, 3+ baths, and a layout tailored to modern living. Architectural renderings and concept floor plans are available, showcasing one stunning possibility while leaving room for your own design. The home already features high ceilings, expansive room sizes, and classic proportions, along with preserved elements like original radiators, solid wood doors, and built-in millwork—perfect for blending historic charm with contemporary finishes. The generous footprint allows for a chef-inspired kitchen with island, breakfast nook, and pantry, while the full daylight basement with direct access opens the door for additional living space, workshop, or recreation area. Positioned on a corner lot with two additional parcels, this property also offers development potential—including the possibility of creating an additional buildable lot (buyer to verify). Envision a wraparound porch to complete the timeless curb appeal seen throughout the neighborhood. Endless possibilities. Exceptional upside. Whether restoring its historic character or building your dream layout from the ground up, opportunities like this are rare. Bring your vision—this one is worth the look.
