Details for Listing #60332807

Long before this house stood, a family had already settled this corner of Ozark, laying down roots in the 1800s. In the early 1950s, two brothers built a home worthy of that ground, felling oak from the property and milling it into the very lumber that still frames these walls. The exterior stone was brought from Carthage, and a skilled craftsman was hired to chisel and set each piece by hand, most strikingly the long rock that crowns the picture window.In time the home passed through the family to a daughter who grew up right here, walking these fields as a girl. She still remembers watching the stone set in place, the great span above the window most of all, and the family hopes whoever comes next will feel the same care they always have. You sense it everywhere, in the handset stonework, the colored tile now back in fashion, and a floor plan unlike anything else you will tour.Offered as is, with the honesty this family would insist upon, it is a home of genuine character and remarkable bones, ready for an investor who sees the possibility or a buyer longing to restore a true original. Two bedrooms and two baths sit on nearly an acre, beside a two car attached garage and a detached garage with its own plumbing and electrical that once served as a working machine shop, where well drilling bits were built and repaired, ready for a new owner to put back to work. A cellar holds the HVAC and water heater, and in full transparency, a small leak behind one garage wall has already been resolved, the drywall removed and the area professionally remediated, leaving it open for finish work.This was never merely a property. It is a family's history, raised from its own oak and hand set Carthage stone, held with love across generations. Right in the heart of Ozark, come stand where real craftsmanship still speaks. It has been treasured, and it is ready to be treasured again.
