1137 S First Street Evansville, IN  47713

The Victorian home at 1137 SE First Street anchors the architectural experience of this lovely Haynie's Corner nook with its white picket fence and rare corner-set front door. The covered porch and angled setback in the yard ring farmhouse vibes. Circa 1891, the home features historic architectural authenticity in flooring, trim, and transoms with 21st century updates including main-floor laundry, an exquisite master-suite upstairs, replacement windows, and a new roof. Downstairs, a front formal sitting room makes for a perfect executive office or library with built-ins, gas fireplace, and ample morning light. Across the stair-flanked entry, the back sitting room and decorative fireplace are perfect for conversations and literary excursions through page or screen. The formal dining room is ready for just that divine thing: formal dining, and the table with 2 leaves and 8 chairs is included in the sale. Newer kitchen cabinetry and appliances make this kitchen ready for that formal dining meal prep. A sunroom off the kitchen connects to you to outdoor living on the brick paver patio and backyard. Upstairs, the angled hall is an open connection to 3 bedrooms - including what is one of the best-arranged and equipped master-suites in the neighborhood, complete with a walk-in shower, a clawfoot soaker tub, and a heated, marble tile floor. The two additional bedrooms are well-sized, and the full bath at the end of the hall boasts a replica pull chain facility. This Victorian charmer is well located, well loved, and ready for the next stewards to continue its story.
