Overview
Step into a piece of local history with this charming two-story brick home in Lacon, originally built in 1857 as the sheriff’s residence and jail. Full of character and timeless appeal, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. The main floor offers a welcoming foyer leading into both a comfortable living room and separate family room, providing multiple spaces to relax or entertain. The kitchen was completely gutted and remodeled in 2017 with updated cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and electrical, while the informal dining area showcases an inoperable decorative fireplace adding to the home’s historic character. Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with a tub/shower combo and walk-in closet. Additional updates include replacement windows, reverse osmosis to the kitchen sink, newer gutters, newer sewer line, and a furnace installed in 2025. Enjoy the three-season screened porch complete with a heater for extended seasonal use. Outside offers a fenced backyard, and an oversized detached 2-car garage with a newer roof. A truly unique opportunity to own one of Lacon’s oldest historic homes with modern conveniences already in place.
