521 W 5th St Step back in time and recognize the potential in this Victorian-style home built in 1911, situated on a spacious corner lot just over half an acre in the heart of Halstead. With 1, 856 square feet, this two-story home offers historic character, a functional layout, and significant upside. Let's be clear: this home is not a finished product. It has been cosmetically updated and recently used as a short-term residence, making it livable today, while still offering opportunities for continued improvements and personalization. A home warranty if being offered as well. The home's character and layout provides a solid start for enhancing its original charm over time. The main level includes a foyer, large living room, formal dining area, eat-in kitchen with pantry, sunroom, and a half bath. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath, along with main-level laundry. The layout is practical, with room to elevate finishes, details, and overall design. An unfinished attic provides ample storage and potential for future expansion, whether additional living space, an office, or a bonus room. A cellar-style basement adds further storage consistent with the era of the home. Outside, the property features a detached garage, a barn-style storage building, and a workshop conveniently located near the garage and just off the back of the home near the sunroom, ideal for tools, projects, or ongoing improvements. Covered patio, screened porch, paved frontage, sidewalks, and mature surroundings complete the exterior. Located in the Halstead School District, this property presents an opportunity to own a historic home with space, storage, and the ability to add value through continued updates.
