My wife and I are lifetime residents of Omaha. I am a retired teacher and she is an active realtor. We are the parents of triplets and two grandchildren! We love Omaha and are proud to share our hometown with you!
Why they chose this property
Bancroft house is in a quaint midtown neighborhood. It is centrally located in the city and has easy interstate access so all metro destinations are easily reached by car in less that 15-20 minutes. Aksarben Village, the Blackstone District, and the Old Market offer different vibes to meet your needs and are nearby. The neighborhood is close to the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus. We love the convenience this location offers.
What makes this property unique
This house is bigger than it looks! It has 6 separate bedrooms so everyone in your travelling party may have their own room. The patio in front offers cool breezes on hot summer nights and a gas fire pit to warm you on cooler evenings. The rec room in the basement has arcade-style video games and board games to entertain families. We have 8 ROKU-equipped televisions in the house for the days when the weather doesn't cooperate with your plans or you just want a quiet day or evening to relax and binge your favorite shows.
