20234 495th Lane, Chariton, IA 50049 - Lucas County

A magnificent 7.1 taxable acre property just off the pavement close to Chariton. Ever hear of "they just don't make them like this anymore" This is what they are talking about. A BEAUTIFUL 2 story 1900 farmhouse featuring 5 bedrooms(4 upstairs) and 1 on the main level. There is a full remodeled bathroom on the 2nd floor, a 1/2 bath off of the master bedroom on the main level, as well as a 1/2 bathroom in the basement. Entering on the east side of the home after you park your vehicle in the 24x35 3 parking spot carport with concrete leads you into the mud room with countertops and sink as well as the washer/dryer. Then into the living room that has a nice fireplace hearth with a pellet /corn stove for additional heating. You will love the ORIGINAL non-painted WOODWORK throughout, along with awesome pocket doors from the living room that lead into the dining room. The living room and the dining room have carpeted floors BUT have original wood floors underneath. The nice sized eat-in-kitchen has multiple cabinets, laminate block tile floors, tons of counter-space, wood stress colored carsiding, oven/stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, built in microwave and just lots of space. From the dining room you can wrap around to the master bedroom that has the 1/2 bath there(stool/sink) You can also access the grand old stairway. Upstairs you have 4 more bedrooms, some carpet and some wood floors. All bedrooms have closets and the bathroom is full. One bedroom is being used as a library/study and features an electric fireplace nestled into the bookcase. There is also a very large finishable walk-up attic. Go down the same way you went up or use the back staircase that was for servants back in the day. You will love the very large DRY basement with 9 1/2 foot walls. The 3rd bathroom is located down there and this features a toilet and shower along with lots of storage and some shelving. A FHA propane furnace, along with a wood boiler outside, this can heat all the water in the home as well as keeping you extra toasty. You have the option to do it this way or just use the FHA propane furnace. The current sellers LOVE the boiler as it is extremely efficient. There is also a water softener in the basement, along with your choice of water meaning Rathbun rural water or a well. The sellers do use the well and it has been tested, BUT, you have a choice, totally up to you. The home had a new roof put on in 2024 and a new septic tank was installed 3/4 years ago. Newer vinyl siding and all the windows are old original, as they are all covered with storm windows for efficiency. 200 amp electric and all is on breakers. Lets not forget about the wrap around porch on 2 sides that is 8 ft deep and was refurbished in 2024. An inviting gazebo as well as a covered concrete patio, mature trees and yard. To the south of the carport, there is a 27x54 HEATED detached garage with concrete floors. Currently there are 2 spaces for your vehicles whereas one room was converted to a craft/quilt room and this has a wall a/c unit. This could go back to another garage space if you wanted. From there you can go to the 20 x 60 lean to for additional parking and that has a rock floor. Then the "shop" which would be ideal for a seed dealer, hobby enthusiasts, basically multiple types of businesses could utilize this 45x72 Morton Building that has FHA(this utilizes the wood boiler) and central air and of course all concrete floors along with a nice front overhang for the "customers". 4 semi-trailers are negotiable for storage. Another 38x68 Morton bldg to the west, with rock floors and 14 ft walls, 2 sliding doors and a garage door. The west 4.1 ac could be sold separately but the house and 3 acres must sell first. This has a 24x24 garage with concrete floors and a rock camper pad. All this off of 200th Ave just north of the Chariton airport.
