Rare! Unique home from post-World War ll era. Lustron Homes were created in the 1940's by Carl Strandlund in Columbus Ohio.
Prefabricated design made of Lustron steel sheets and porcelain enamel. Advertised as ''rat-proof, rust proof, fire-proof, termite-proof.'' This home is mostly original. The bath has been updated and the kitchen has some replacement cabinets. This is not a Sears Roebuck home. Decorating is easy with metal hangers that suspend from the top of the walls, and you can use magnets everywhere! If you don't like where something is on the walls or cabinets you just move it, no holes! When you're ready to clean just use soap and water! Oversized garage w/ auto opener w/ room for a car, workshop or storage. Nice manageable yard. Move in condition! Open House 5/7 1:30-3:0
