The Historic Kirkwood Victorian · Land For Sale · 1.40 AC

This is a must-see! Located on 1.4 acres in the quiet community of Kirkwood, the historic and whimsical Kirkwood Post Office has been completely restored with era-appropriate finishes and details, right down to the original doorknobs and hinges. With 5 bedrooms and 2 baths in the main house and an additional 1 bedroom, 1 bath in the detached guest house, there is enough room for everyone, including the in-laws! The home has been completely re-done with new electrical, plumbing, insulation, and HVAC and has been a labor of love for the last 18 years. As this project comes to an end for the Sellers, their vision for this true piece of art has become a reality and the details are impressive. From the layered trim in the living room’s coffered ceilings to the custom slate work in the entry to the perfectly preserved post office with its mailboxes, teller window, and fold-down desk, the Seller stayed true to the original architecture of the home. Up the first set of stairs from the split, the staircase is the master bedroom with a cozy wood stove and hideaway spaces for the kiddos. Across from the master, bedroom stairway is the stairway leading to the old water tower that is nestled next to the windmill. The tower has been converted into two bedrooms that look out over the backyard and the surrounding farmland. Outside there is a romantic his and hers bath area under a patio hidden by climbing roses, a 3-stall horse barn, a large poultry barn, and a shop with a wood stove. With a large, detached carport, so much flat parking space, and two entrances, this property can accommodate multiple trucks and trailers. This property is located within walking distance of Kirkwood Elementary which is TK-8th grade with very small class sizes, less than a 5-mile drive from Rolling Hills Casino and the equestrian facility, and even closer to I-5 for easy commuter access. This is truly a property you have to see in person to appreciate!
