Originally built in 1880 as a railroad depot, this remarkable home still showcases artifacts of its past—look up to see railroad tracks along the ceiling and admire the authentic Brian Greer tin ceiling tiles.

On the bar, you’ll find a photo book documenting the transformation of the depot into this special residence. Walk out to the lower patio, where you’ll notice that you are PERCHED ABOVE THE SHORELINE for a truly elevated perspective. Take a seat and see for yourself! Two attached garages (570 SF + 560 SF) fit 3 vehicles comfortably. Located near parks, trails, and the endless entertainment of Arnolds Park, this home blends unique history with the modern lake lifestyle.
