About this property

Own a piece of St. Charles history! Built in 1894 and tucked along historic Clark Street, this charming home offers the character and craftsmanship of another era paired with thoughtful updates for today. Just a short walk from Historic Main Street, enjoy easy access to local restaurants, shops and all the energy of one of St. Charles’ most beloved destinations. Unlike a cookie-cutter neighborhood, the surrounding streets are filled with distinctive homes, mature character and plenty to discover on an evening stroll. The owners have taken special care to enhance the home while respecting its original charm. A rebuilt, insulated and waterproofed front porch stays true to the original architecture, while refinished hardwood floors and a professionally refinished staircase and updated kitchen add warmth inside. Outdoors, a herringbone brick patio and walkway, refreshed landscaping and garden areas create an inviting backyard retreat. The upstairs bath has been thoughtfully updated while retaining its original cast-iron tub, and the home's original windows have been repaired and reglazed as needed. Additional improvements throughout the kitchen, pantry, baths and exterior add everyday function without sacrificing the character that makes this home so special. Historic. Walkable. One-of-a-kind. This is the kind of St. Charles home that simply can't be recreated.
