The search is over. If you’ve been avoiding Victorian homes—worried about maintenance headaches or cramped kitchens—prepare for a pleasant surprise. Welcome to 1103 26th Street, a turn-key Victorian that blends century-old charm with $75, 000+ in modern updates for peace of mind and effortless living. Since 2020, major infrastructure improvements—HVAC, electrical panel, wiring, plumbing, water heater, and more—ensure this home offers 21st-century reliability with timeless character. Inside, the kitchen impresses with stainless appliances, granite counters, a breakfast bar, and abundant storage. The adjoining formal dining room provides easy flow for entertaining or everyday meals. With three full bathrooms (a rare benefit in homes from the 1880s), walk-in closets, a vaulted primary suite, and hardwood floors throughout, this home delivers the space and functionality most historic homes lack. Outside, the 0.27-acre corner lot offers mature trees, a fenced backyard, and a private deck ideal for pets, play, or peaceful weekends outdoors. The oversized two-stall garage and extended driveway provide extra room for vehicles, tools, or storage—another uncommon perk for a home of this era. Location completes the package. 1103 26th Street sits in an established neighborhood within walking distance of Uptown Marion’s shops, dining, parks, and community events—everything from morning coffee to local festivals. Zoned for Longfellow Elementary and Vernon Middle School, it combines neighborhood charm, school stability, and modern comfort. And here’s the best part: with Marion’s 5.5% mortgage rates, this 2, 066-sq-ft Victorian could be yours for around $1, 136 per month in principal and interest—less than many are paying to rent nearby.
