Property Description

PRICE ADJUSTMENT because relocating owners motivated to sell quickly! Rarely does a home of this architectural significance become available at such an attainable price. A couple projects incomplete for you to resume according to your desires, providing the opportunity to sell at a lower "as is" price point - a distinguished Queen Anne Victorian residence in the charming river town of Louisiana, Missouri. Built in 1891 for prominent merchant Adam Wald, this remarkable home stands as a testament to the prosperity, craftsmanship, and architectural elegance of Louisiana's thriving river-town era. Agents see agent remarks. Situated on three lots totaling just under one-half acre, the home is constructed of stone, brick, and frame and showcases beautifully preserved original woodwork, a grand oak staircase, spacious formal living and dining rooms, and architectural details that have remained intact for well over a century. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the home's historic character, offering modern conveniences while preserving its timeless beauty. Adam Wald, whose family owned and operated one of Louisiana's largest mercantile establishments, commissioned the home during one of the community's most prosperous periods. It is one of three adjacent homes built for the Wald family. Originally estimated to cost $2,000 each to construct, the homes ultimately exceeded expectations, with final construction costs reaching an impressive $4,250 each—a considerable investment in 1891! Located on historic North Third Street, the property is within walking distance of downtown shops, restaurants, the library, and the Mississippi River. Continue your stroll north along Third or Main Street, passing other impressive historic homes, and you'll arrive at Henderson Park (also known as Riverview Park), where breathtaking views of the Mississippi River, the Illinois bluffs, and the surrounding river valley await. The property includes a private drive and a detached three-car garage that offers abundant space for vehicles, a workshop, hobbies, or the perfect gathering spot. A large screened porch, added in the 1980s, is currently being transitioned into a three- or four-season room, giving the next owner the opportunity to complete the project or restore it to its original screened-porch design. Whether you're entertaining guests, admiring the exceptional craftsmanship of a bygone era, or simply appreciating the rich history behind its walls, this home offers a rare combination of historic significance, charm, and everyday livability. More than a home—it's a remarkable piece of Louisiana history.
