Step back in time with this enchanting Queen Anne Victorian, built in 1900 and lovingly preserved in Evansville’s historic Howell neighborhood. Originally one of the most distinguished homes on the block—when Howell was still a separate town housing employees of the L&N Railroad—this residence remains a proud testament to turn-of-the-century craftsmanship and design.
Inside, you’ll find rich original woodwork, stained glass windows, and beautiful wood floors that exude warmth and character. The graceful staircase, wide baseboards, pocket doors, and transom windows showcase the home’s artistry, while ornate mantels and a stained-glass front door complete the historic charm.
The home spans 2,413 square feet with four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms—including one with an original clawfoot tub. The formal dining room still features its built-in china cabinet and perfectly placed windows for a buffet, separated from the living room by large functioning pocket doors. Though the front parlor fireplace is decorative, it remains a beloved centerpiece for conversation.
Thoughtful updates ensure comfort and efficiency without compromising authenticity:
- New roof (4 years old)
- HVAC system (3 years old)
- Energy-efficient double-pane windows (all but one on the main and upper levels)
Outside, enjoy a wraparound front porch, a white picket fence, and a private backyard perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings. The detached garage offers dual doors for easy access from both the front and alley.
While this home still invites a few finishing touches, it promises immense rewards—a blend of history, space, and enduring beauty. With its architectural integrity largely untouched and essential updates already made, this property is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Evansville’s history at $134,900.
