1008 South Lake Street

MLS# 295182 TWO LOTS. FIVE BEDROOMS. ONE OF COLFAX'S MOST DISTINCTIVE HISTORIC HOMES. Known affectionately as “Mabel,” this 1913 home offers something increasingly hard to find: space, character AND future possibilities. The property includes three tax parcels totaling approximately .41 acres, including the separately platted, fully buildable 1006 S. Lake Street lot with power, gas and sewer available. Build another home, create an investment opportunity, or simply enjoy the additional space. Inside, Mabel offers 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, beautiful maple hardwood floors, original fir flooring, oversized closets, abundant storage, a large mudroom pantry and upstairs laundry with an additional main-level hookup. Historic craftsmanship remains throughout while major improvements have already been completed, including complete rewiring and removal of the original knob-and-tube wiring, nearly all replacement windows, a remodeled lower bathroom & exterior improvements. Modern conveniences include a smart thermostat, six-zone irrigation, reverse-osmosis filtration and a high-capacity mini-split system. The unfinished basement adds workshop and storage space, while the covered front porch and original architectural details give this home the character that simply can't be recreated today. A rare opportunity to own a substantial historic home with an additional buildable lot—all in the heart of Colfax.
