. They don’t build them like this anymore. Just seven blocks from the courthouse square in downtown Auburn, this 1920 home is filled with the character and details that make older homes so special. Beautiful hardwood floors, abundant windows, substantial trim and a charming window seat are found throughout, while the covered front porch offers a front-row seat to Auburn’s parade route. Inside, the main level offers generous living and dining spaces, a den, updated kitchen and convenient half bath. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. The partially finished basement provides additional usable space, a stand-up shower and plenty of storage, with waterproofed walls and a sump pump with battery backup. Outside, a partially privacy-fenced yard includes a paved patio area, fire pit and storage shed. The detached two-car garage holds one more surprise: an approximately 375 sq. ft. drywall-finished upper-level room with its own half bath. While not currently heated or cooled or included in the home’s finished square footage, it offers incredible potential for an office, art studio, hobby room or additional hangout space. Add in the library just a couple blocks away and downtown Auburn within easy reach, and 809 S. Jackson offers the character of an Auburn classic with some unexpected extras.
