(8-6-26) The childhood home of Neil Armstrong in Wapakoneta is officially on the market, and the current owner has been delicate in preserving its history and style.

At 601 W. Benton St., the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home presented for $430,000 sits unassuming – aside from the historical marker placed in front of it. The 1,539-square-foot property was purchased by the Armstrongs in 1944, according to a Zillow listing, and the marker was placed in 2018.

“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.”
