715 Capital St
Yankton, SD 57078

Description

Yankton doesn't have a lot of houses like 715 Capital. Built in 1900, back when they used lumber that could hold up a century and actually did. Walk through the front door and you expect to find knob-and-tube wiring and a kitchen from the Carter administration. Instead, you find an updated kitchen with an island, new fixtures, and the kind of layout that makes you wonder why anyone builds hallways anymore. The dining room sits right off the kitchen, and the family room beyond that is where the house starts to breathe, carpeted with room to actually live in. There is a bedroom on the main floor. There is a laundry room on the main floor. There is a half bath on the main floor. If main-floor living is what you're after, the rest is just a bonus. The bonus is good, though. Upstairs, the one-and-a-half-story roofline creates the kind of angles that architects now charge a fortune to replicate. A bedroom with a large closet. A full bath. And an office or study that feels completely removed from the rest of the house, the room where the laptop opens and the door stays shut and the afternoon disappears. The basement is finished. A family room runs along one side, and two additional rooms fill out the rest of the space down there. No egress windows, so call them what you want. Den. Workshop. The room where the guitar amp lives. They're yours to name. What someone did to this house matters more than when it was built. Newer roof. Newer windows. Updated kitchen and baths. Central air. Gas forced air heat. City water, city sewer, the stuff you don't think about until it isn't there. There's a detached garage off the alley with an opener.
