5 bedrooms | 5 baths | 5,704 square feet
Built in 1850
Rewind all the way back to the middle of the 19th century, pre-Civil War, and the epic Song Stone Mansion was constructed during the height of Keokuk, Iowa’s boom days. Since then, this house has aged like a fine wine and has accumulated maximum aura.
Honestly, I think $333k is a pretty amazing deal, with over 5,700 square feet and a partial roof replacement in 2019. And just think of all the spooky possibilities!
Here’s the realtor’s description.
