About this home

This home is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Wapakoneta's finest older homes, a true city gem, lovingly cared for and ready for its next owner. Cherished by its current owner for nearly 40 years, this historic home boasts craftsmanship, character and timeliness elegance of the past, with thoughtful renovations. Hardwood floors, exceptional woodwork, period details, and an updated kitchen featuring abundant cabinetry, all are reflective of historic charm. A bright and airy front porch and rear deck with gazebo offer the perfect space to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening. The backyard is a peaceful oasis, leading up to the detached two-car garage, and a fenced-in yard surrounded by lush landscaping. The current owner has had the pleasure of helping to preserve history and keep the home much like it was when the young Neil Armstrong and his family lived there. A historical marker was placed in front of this home in 2018, as this was the home of Neil Armstrong's childhood, purchased by the Armstrongs in 1944. A number of other astronauts have visited the house in recent years.
