Description

Built in 1914 as a customized Aladdin Catalogue kit home. Delivered by train, bundle by bundle like a modern Lego set, the builder would build a section of the home at a time and every 6 weeks a new bundle would arrive. Once called Sheldahl Crossing in what is now Slater, IA the railway is now better known now as the Heart Of Iowa and High Trestle bike trails.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the classic architectural details, including original woodwork, tall ceilings, and rich trim that speak to the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

The main floor boasts large vinyl windows that fill the home with natural light, highlighting the inviting living spaces and historical charm. The kitchen blends function and style with under- and over-cabinet lighting, while modern updates like a new dishwasher, new water heater, whole-house water filter and softener make everyday living easy.

Comfort is key with zoned heating, and the home’s solid foundation and structure give you peace of mind for years to come. All this in a welcoming small-town community, close to local amenities and located in the Ballard School district.
