Description

Step into the charm and character of this beautifully maintained 1950 brick home, ideally located on Main Street in the heart of historic downtown Wallace. Set on approximately half an acre, this distinctive four-bedroom, two-bath home offers the kind of craftsmanship, space and character that is difficult to find in newer construction--all within an easy walk of downtown restaurants, shops and local amenities.

Inside, you'll find custom molding throughout, newly painted trim, 6-inch baseboards, picture railing, solid-wood interior doors, hardwood floors and tile baths. The home offers a traditional layout with separate living room, den, dining room, kitchen and laundry room, along with two stairways adding both convenience and character. The dining room features beautiful wainscoting, while the enclosed sunroom provides a wonderful additional space overlooking the backyard.

The kitchen includes a Forno electric range installed in 2024, and the home offers plenty of storage, including a walk-in cedar closet and a walk-in closet in the front bedroom. New French doors were installed in 2025, and the upstairs bathroom received a new tub and tile surround the same year. A chest freezer remains with the home.

Major improvements provide peace of mind for the next owner. A 26-kW Generac whole-house standby generator was installed in 2025. The Trane Combi-Pac HVAC system was installed in 2017, with a Trane upstairs unit added in 2019. The main architectural-shingle roof was installed in 2019, and the flat rubber roof was replaced in 2023. Exterior trim and dormers were freshly painted in August 2026, as were the interior back entrance and stairwell.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The beautifully landscaped backyard includes a 12x14 gazebo, a 10x16 Walden shed installed in 2026, and a kitchen garden with raised vegetable beds and perennial herbs including sage, thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, green onion and bay. A circular driveway provides ample parking, while the detached brick 1½-car garage adds valuable storage and workspace.

With its brick construction, generous lot, mature surroundings, thoughtful updates and unbeatable downtown location, this is a home that offers something increasingly rare: **old-fashioned character, modern improvements and the ability to walk to the best of downtown Wallace.
