Property Description
Step back in time with one of Manton’s most iconic and talked-about homes… affectionately known as “The Manton House” and by many locals simply as “The Castle.” Built in 1904 by newspaper baron H.G. Hutzler, this historic 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom residence is rich with character, craftsmanship, and stories from generations past. Constructed of on-site cement block and offering over 3,170 finished square feet with more than 1,400 square feet on each level, this home is truly unlike anything else on the market. Inside, you’ll find stunning bird’s eye maple wood floors, antique light fixtures and chandeliers, beautiful oak pocket doors, and timeless architectural details throughout. The pocket doors create elegant privacy between the front parlor, living room, and main floor bedroom, while the spacious layout offers endless opportunities for entertaining, multi-generational living, or simply enjoying the charm of a bygone era. A photo of the original home still hangs proudly near the entry, welcoming guests into a piece of Manton history. Outside, the home sits on two large city lots just blocks from downtown Manton and the local schools. Enjoy evenings on the turret-style cement porch, gather around a backyard fire, or relax in the private fenced-in area perfect for pets and outdoor enjoyment. The front lawn offers a perfect spot to enjoy Manton’s holiday parades and small-town community charm. Once divided into two upstairs apartments, the upper level could potentially be converted again with relative ease, creating additional living or income opportunities. Whether you’ve admired this home for years while driving by or are searching for a truly one-of-a-kind property filled with history and heart, “The Castle” offers the rare chance to own a treasured landmark that is equal parts conversation piece, comfortable family home, and step back through time.
