This house has some amazing porches! There are great interior details. The house was built in 1901. It is located in Metropolis, Illinois. The home features amazing porches, original fretwork, lincrusta wall covering, pressed tin ceiling, vintage light fixtures, beautiful crown molding, ceiling medallions, stained glass windows and wainscoting. First thing I would do is change all of the flooring. Hoping real hardwood is underneath what they put down. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 3,650 square feet. $359,000 New price: $275,000
