If you love homes with real character and history, you’re going to enjoy this one. Welcome to 490 North Jefferson Street — a beautifully preserved three-bedroom, two-bath home right here in one of Martinsville’s most historic neighborhoods. The moment you walk in, you’ll feel the charm. The high ceilings, hardwood floors, and there’s even a stunning Italian mirror imported in 1912 — original to the home. The living room features a cozy fireplace, and right off of it, there’s a parlor or family room that also makes a perfect formal dining space if that’s what you prefer. There’s a bedroom on the main level, which is great for guests or anyone wanting to avoid stairs, and then upstairs you’ll find the primary suite — bright, roomy, and private. The owners just installed energy-efficient Andersen windows upstairs, and they come with a transferable lifetime warranty through Renewal by Andersen. That’s a huge plus for peace of mind and energy savings. The kitchen has that classic, old-home feel — full of character and function. Downstairs, there’s a full basement with a workshop area, laundry, and lots of storage. Outside, you’ll love the enclosed front porch — perfect for coffee or people-watching — and the open back deck overlooking the corner lot. There’s also a 900-square-foot detached garage, ideal for parking, hobbies, or storage. Major updates have already been handled, including a new sewer line from the house to the city connection. It’s one of those homes where you can move in and immediately appreciate both the history and the care that’s gone into maintaining it. Located just blocks from downtown Martinsville, you’re close to local shops, restaurants, and parks, plus quick access to I-69 for an easy commute to Bloomington or Indianapolis. If you’ve been waiting for a home that offers warmth, charm, and real craftsmanship — this is one worth seeing.
