The story
Beautiful historic home on 2.4 acres in the heart of Oakley, Idaho. Constructed in 1898 by Jacob Dayley, this property is truly one of a kind. The most striking feature is the white Oakley sandstone used to construct the over 12 inch thick walls of this residence, and the inscription" J D 1898 " on the front gable. They sure don't build 'em like this anymore! This home has been owned by the Dayley family since construction... and now, after 128 years, it could be yours. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places which does NOT restrict the ownership rights on the property, but recognizes it's historic significance. Comprised of three lots within the city of Oakley, the home sits on the eastern lot, with the other two to the west. The interior showcases craftsmanship of a bygone era... just waiting to be restored. While the nostalgia and charm of this home are irresistible, several practical improvements have been made: including modern plumbing and improvements to the foundation/crawlspace access. The home is cozy and livable as-is. The outbuildings consist of a 1 car garage with attached storage and a cellar, 2 car shop that is insulated and heated by woodstove, shed, and a seasonal outhouse. There is way too much information to list here, so ask your agent about the historical documentation available for you to learn more!
