The moment you walk through the front door, you will feel it. This is not a house that tries to have character. It was born with it. Step onto the front porch first and take it in. The kind of porch people do not build anymore. The kind that makes the whole street stop and look. Then step inside and let your eyes travel upward. Ceiling profiles that frame every room with intention. Tall windows that flood the space with natural light from floor to ceiling. Millwork and trim that required real craftsmen and real time, the kind of detail that simply does not exist in anything built today. This vintage Victorian in the heart of Marion delivers...read more four bedrooms, three full baths, and 2,066 square feet of living space that feels even larger than it measures. Ceilings rise dramatically on both the main and second floors. And when you reach the lofted primary suite, the vaulted ceilings above you make it feel less like a bedroom and more like a private retreat.Picture yourself here.
