Thursday Three Hundred: A Prairie Home (Companion) With a Face Fit For TV
Share News:
5010 Gaston is the perfect prairie home in an urban, walkable location.
Guys, I have a confession to make.
I am not a fan of Garrison Keillor. No, it’s not because of the dustup after his speaking gig at Highland Park UMC. I just don’t like talk radio, or “A Prairie Home Companion,” for that matter.
I’ll tell you what I do like: I like a good prairie home. And that’s exactly what 5010 Gaston Ave. is. I fine, well-preserved, built in 1912 prairie four-square with gorgeous wood trim and plenty of personality.
What’s not to love? Neat historical features await around every corner, and check this out: THERE’S A BASEMENT! Turn it into a wine cellar, or a tornado shelter, or a place to stash your disaster prepping supplies!
Seriously, though, it’s two stories with two-and-a-half baths, three bedrooms, and 3,144 square feet near the urban core. Gaston is incredibly walkable, and bikeable, but just in case you find yourself wanting to drive, well, there’s a gated driveway for that.
Additionally, the entire wrap-around front porch has been rebuilt with concrete, so it’s practically worry free. And there’s a really cool fireplace.
Really, it’s a diamond-in-the-rough kind of house, one that’s so pretty inside and out that traffic slows as it passes by. And at $349,000, well, it’s a total bargain!

This is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves. Real estate listing pictures of a bathroom with the stupid lid up on the toilet!!!! Shows me that the agent doesn't give full attention to details. I mean really, who wants to look into the loo online? Ok…….I've vented.

As a lookee looker, my pet peeves are also open toilets, burned out light bulbs, powered up TV's (who cares what you were watching?), crooked towels, shower curtains of any kind, or animals showing up in the photos. Really, you couldn't just move the items, straighten the towels, close the toilet, turn off the boob tube, shoo the animals, change a light bulb?
