Description

Step back in time to 1914 when this Craftsman Style Home was built for the Rock Island Rail Road Depot Master MJ Doyle. This home then remained in the Doyle Family until 1989. The Current Owners have restored this historic home with large double lot and Mature Trees to appear period correct on the main level which has all original hardwood flooring, with a Living Room, French Doors, Dining Room, Kitchen, Pantry, Master Bedroom complete with walk in closet and a full bathroom with a claw foot tub. The second level of the home has been made to appear distressed with the Rock Island Logo in the Hall Way. The second Level includes a 1/2 bathroom, 2 bedrooms and small nursery. 14' x 21' garage and open yard. The mechanical updates include Complete Tear off and new roof 2001, 200 amp service and complete rewire 2004, New Furnace and Central Air in 2005, Completely Rebuilt Porch 2006, and New Water heater and new plumbing in 2007. This home is PERFECT to add to Wilton's Air BNB Collection as it sits just across the street from the Wilton Depot that was built in 1898 and the Historic Wilton Candy Kitchen that was built in 1856 and is still in operation. Visitors can enjoy the front porch, hear the passing trains and visit Historic sites in Wilton, Muscatine and the Herbert Hoover Library in West Branch. Truly a uniquely updated home with investment potential, or choose to live in a smaller Historic Home with less required maintenance.
