About 308 NE Main St
Welcome to this historic home. This immaculately cared for 2-story home was built in 1915 & continues to stand firm. This is one of the original farmhouses in Grimes & it is impressive! When this home was built, much of the land around it was "the edge of town" farm. Over the years the community expanded & the rest of the farmland was developed, but this fantastic house remains. When you walk in, you will think time has stood still. Notice the original weighted windows, the beautiful woodwork, the gorgeous wood floors! You just don't see this very often. It is absolutely gorgeous! Originally purchased by a family that has been in the community for 5 generations to bring this home to its full potential & restore the home's original beauty. So now they would like to share it with you! So many of the major cosmetic updates have been done, all while still preserving history. The quintessential historic neighborly Grimes charm is here with all of the modern updates you could ask for. If you love Grimes and you love our history, then this is the perfect stunning home for you. Check out the list of all the new updates. Enjoy your time on the wrap around porch or the secluded deck on the rear side of the home. This home is ready & waiting. Appliances include range, refrigerator, microwave, washer & dryer that all stay with the home. There is an extra-large 2-car detached garage. 100 year old antique dining room table & chairs are negotiable to be included. Welcome to your new home!
