903 Elm Ave in Norwalk.
2 bdrm 1 bath steel home known as a Lustron home. Youtube has several videos on these unique steel homes built in 1950. They are porcelainized steel, and never need painted or roofed. The roof has not leaked in 73 years, nor has the steel been painted in 73 years! These homes were way before their time, as we now see a swing towards steel roofs and barndominiums.
The home has had many recent renovations including new drywalled walls in part of the home, new flooring including ceramic tile work in the kitchen and bath with the look of barnwood. All new stainless appliances, and water heater 2 years ago. New Carrier high efficiency furnace 4 months ago.
The garage was a one bedroom apartment at one time. It has just been remodeled, and is now a large, well insulated room, with a remodeled restroom on one side, and a drive in garage on the other side. This unique garage has great potential for a residential zoned business such as a hair salon, barbershop, gun shop, taxidermy studio, bait and tackle shop, business office, or a guest quarters/mother-in-law quarters. Would also make an awesome man cave or she cave, wood shop etc...
Property has a large fenced yard, and is two blocks from Oviatt Elementary School, and two blocks from Norwalk High School; in the original part of Norwalk. Very clean and friendly neighborhood and as an added bonus it is on the annual Norwalk 4th of July parade route, making for a great get together in the large front yard!
To see this unique home we request that you are pre-qualified for a home of this value. It is for sale by owner at this time.
