Remarkable Piece of Local History – House Built for Namesake of Paden City!
  • $285,000

Description

If these walls could talk, they would have more than 200 years of stories to tell. Built circa 1820 for the son of Obadiah Paden, the namesake of Paden City, 135 Van Camp Street is a remarkable piece of local history, and an opportunity that simply doesn’t come along every day. Standing on a large level lot, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home has the unmistakable character that only comes with age. Over 3,000 sqft of generous rooms, historic details, and the craftsmanship of another era create a home that feels special from the moment you step inside. And while its story began more than two centuries ago, the floor plan offers surprising practicality for today, including a main-level bedroom ,full bath, and laundry. Outside, the spacious grounds give the home room to breathe, while a detached two-car garage with an unfinished loft adds even more possibility. The home has been lived in and loved for generations, and now it’s ready for someone new to make it their own. There are updates to be made and projects to take on, but that’s part of what makes this property so intriguing. Rather than starting with someone else’s vision, you have the opportunity to preserve what you love, change what you don’t, and thoughtfully bring this historic home into its next chapter. Homes this old are rare. Homes with a connection to the very family behind the name Paden City are rarer still. 135 Van Camp Street isn’t just a home with history. It’s a chance to become part of it.
