<\/p>\n

A building that once housed all the heating equipment for a nearby Omaha, NE<\/a>, train station is now a completely renovated space<\/a> that\u2019s ready for its next chapter.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s really about how a buyer \u201cchoo-chooses\u201d to use it. (OK, OK. We\u2019re done.)<\/p>\n

Zoned for both commercial and residential use, this all-brick landmark could make for a great live-work arrangement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe beauty of this zoning is that it\u2019s so flexible and allows anybody to create anything,\u201d says listing agent Nico Marasco<\/strong>, with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ambassador Real Estate.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s an old brick building that\u2019s been extremely well maintained.\u201d<\/p>\n

The list price is $825,000, after a recent reduction from its original ask of $895,000 in September.<\/p>\n

Built for Burlington Northern<\/h2>\n

Tax records indicate the 3,527-square-foot building dates to 1930, but it might be even older.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Burlington Northern train station was completed in the summer of 1898 to house the [Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition] fair that was coming to Omaha,\u201d Marasco says. \u201cThis building was constructed to house the boiler system that was used to heat the train station, as well as some other buildings in the area. That\u2019s why we believe it was probably constructed in the fall of 1898.\u201d<\/p>\n

The seller bought and renovated the property in 2013 from a retired locomotive engineer, who had used it as an art gallery.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like nothing you have ever seen before,\u201d Marasco says. \u201cWhen you come down the driveway, there are these big iron gates; and it\u2019s like you go into a whole other world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Loft sitting area<\/p>\n

The property sits on a half-acre near downtown Omaha.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the spring and summertime, you\u2019re just surrounded by trees, plants, and wildlife,\u201d Marasco says, adding that there is a cascading waterfall by the front door. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to forget [where you are].\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside the doors is a large open space with a partial kitchen and half-bath.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of like a rec room,\u201d Marasco explains. The kitchen does not have a stove or oven\u2014just a microwave.<\/p>\n

Loft-style open living and dining spaces<\/p>\n

A staircase leads from the recreational space to a loft area, which includes a bedroom, bathroom, and living space.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the windows have all the original mechanisms that you would use to open them back in the 1800s,\u201d Marasco says. \u201cThis was built from a utilitarian standpoint and has just aged so wonderfully. It just captures kind of that American history of the old railroad revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original smokestack from when the building was a boiler house sits nearby.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not used for anything now, and it\u2019s actually in really good condition,\u201d Marasco says, adding the owner had it surveyed a few years ago. \u201cShe had a special coating from a masonry company put over it to protect its longevity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The unique feature definitely provides a talking point.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s probably just cool to tell people, \u2018Take a left at the smokestack\u2014that\u2019s my house,’\u201d Marasco muses.<\/p>\n

Teeming with brick and exposed beams\u2014plus lots of outdoor space and a rooftop deck\u2014the space embodies many of the city\u2019s most charming details.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s truly just an incredible piece of history,\u201d Marasco says of the building. \u201cSomeone who is very lucky can have a chance to continue its legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
