From the Zillow listing:

Looking for a home outside city limits? Then look no further. This home has little bit of history and a whole lot of charm! It was built in 1930 by a local blacksmith who took the stone by horse and buggy from the train station across the street. The blacksmith built the house for his wife, and included 5 hand carved stone hearts, which are situated in the exterior of the house. After the addition, a 6th heart was added into the stonework above the fireplace. This home is situated in a very unique spot for the boating and outdoor enthusiasts, as the Marion River Access is directly across the rd. Don’t miss out on this one!
