Have you ever heard of a Lustron home? These homes were constructed from 1948-1950 and produced about 2500 of them after WWII. Today, they are a rare find with only about 2000 still existing across the country! The name “Lustron” was developed after the procedure of literally putting “luster on” steel during the enameling process. Yes, this home is entirely made of prefabricated enameled steel elements, including walls, roof, bedroom/bathroom pocket doors and interior fixtures! Most of this home is in the original condition except a few modifications or updates including kitchen cabinets and newer furnace and hotwater tank. This home sits on a nice lot just outside the Village of Gowanda on a dead end road. There is a detached 1 car garage as well as a garden shed/ workshop in the back yard. An enclosed porch was added in the 80's for additional entertaining space. If you are a history fanatic, you need to check out this rare unique find while it lasts! Sale will include original architect plans dated 1949. Sold as is for the Estate including any well and septic testing/repairs if needed. This home passed the county testing in 2022.
