About this property
Some homes are measured in square feet. Others are measured in stories. Built in the 1880s, this gorgeous three-story brick Colonial Revival has stood watch over generations of life in our community. Families have gathered around its tables, climbed its staircases, celebrated milestones within its walls, and added their own chapters to a story that began nearly 140 years ago. Now, this beautifully cared-for home is ready for its next one. With approximately 3,200 square feet of living space, five bedrooms and four baths, there is room here to truly spread out. And we mean room. The main level offers a living room, formal dining room, library, kitchen, and family room, creating wonderful spaces for everything from quiet evenings with a book to holiday dinners with every chair around the table filled. Whether you love to entertain, need space for a busy household, or have always dreamed of an old home with rooms that actually have their own personalities, this one delivers. Throughout the home, the past and present mingle in all the right ways. Stunning hardwood floors stretch beneath your feet, historic windows retain their beautiful vintage glass, and original architectural details and moldings are joined by a thoughtfully incorporated reclaimed staircase (second to third floor) that feels right at home here. These are the kinds of details that give an older home its soul, the slight variations and craftsmanship that simply can't be ordered from a catalog or recreated in new construction. A gas fireplace adds another beautiful focal point, though it has not been used by the current sellers. Classic radiator heat keeps the home warm through Illinois winters, while window A/C units provide cooling in the warmer months and, according to the sellers, do the job surprisingly well. The home has been lovingly cared for over the years, with recent improvements that include filling in an abandoned well in the basement and adding fencing around the large corner lot. Outside, the property offers plenty of breathing room while keeping upkeep manageable with attractive, low-maintenance landscaping. There's no garage, but a carport provides covered parking. And then there is simply the feeling of the place. Sunlight filtering through old glass. Hardwood floors that replaced a slate...situation (we have this story and more to share with you). Staircases and moldings with craftsmanship and character. Rooms large enough to fill with family and friends, yet cozy enough to find a favorite corner and make it entirely your own. An old house isn't for someone looking for everything to be brand new and perfectly uniform. It's for someone who sees beauty in craftsmanship, appreciates the character that comes with age, and loves the idea of becoming part of a home's long history rather than being the very first chapter. For nearly 140 years, this remarkable brick home has been gathering stories. Maybe it's time for yours.
