FOR SALE: Historic Victorian Restoration Project


I recently listed this amazing Victorian home in Ogden.


Located at 640 22nd Street, this beautiful home is a diamond in the rough.  It is located next to the new elementary school under construction and just several blocks from the recently renovated LDS temple, many diverse worship centers, the Junction, the Ogden River Parkway, and Historic 25th Street.   The home has over 1800 SQFT with four bedrooms and two bathrooms.  The home also boasts the original stairway banister, an elegant entry, tall 10' foot+ ceilings (behind a false drop ceiling), original casings and woodwork, and tons of charm.  There is a two bay carriage house behind the home with a fenced yard.  The home is brick construction built in 1898...just after Statehood.  

Unfortunately, the home was subsequently subdivided into a duplex sometime mid-century.  However, putting the home back together should be fairly simple.  To help with the restoration, Ogden City is offering $20,000 to an owner who will reduce the property to a single family residence.  

Here is a video tour of the property so you can get a feel for layout and condition:


I also went and measured out the interior of the building to get a feel for the floorplan. Here are those dimensions for your benefit:



The measurements aren't exact but they are pretty close.  Estimated costs to fix this property start around $40k and increase from there depending on the level of finishes and hardware you want to use.  The property would be worth around $150k-$160k or more depending on the quality of the work done.  Contact me for a current list price for this property.

If you are looking for an opportunity to restore one of Ogden's beautiful historic Victorian homes, this is one you can't pass up.  CONTACT ME if you are interested.
