Some homes are more than an address. They are part of a community's story. Welcome to 200 NE Main Street, once affectionately known as the "Gingerbread House". Its Christmas light displays attracted visitors from near and far, creating special holiday memories throughout Grimes. Situated on a corner lot, this 4 bedroom, 1 bath historic home offers hardwood floors, 1750 Sq ft of living space, beautiful wrap around deck, an oversized two car garage with an additional shed and the charm, character and elegance that cannot be recreated in a cookie cutter home. It needs some TLC, but for someone who values history, individuality and incredible potential, this is an opportunity to thoughtfully restore something truly special. With the holidays approaching, there could not be a more fitting time for the Gingerbread House to begin its next chapter. Bring your vision and perhaps a few strands of Christmas lights. This beloved piece of Grimes history is ready to shine again. Home is being "Sold as". All information obtained from seller and public records.
