Marion, IN 46952 608 W 3rd Street

Step into Marions history with this 2-story Folk Victorian home, originally built in the 1890s for well-known photographer John H. Hartsook of Hartsook Studio. Rich in character, it offers over 2,600 sq ft, 10 rooms, original quarter-sawn oak Craftsman woodwork and staircase, hardwood floors, and a striking leaded-glass Colonial Revivalstyle entry. An open foyer leads to the living room with fireplace and a large dining room or den with working oak pocket doors and built-ins. The spacious kitchen features an island, dishwasher, glass cooktop, double oven, and a bay-window dining area, plus a convenient main-level half bath and double stairway; dumbwaiter mechanicals remain in the basement (not in use). Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, including a generous primary with walk-in closet and built-in cabinetry, and a full bath. Outside, the deep backyard offers room for pets, entertaining, off-street parking, or a future detached garage with alley access. Roof was updated in 2020, and this historically significant home is priced to attract both owner-occupants and innovative investors. This property will not pass for FHA financing.
