The Cathedral Area of Joliet is known for its timeless era of distinct architecture dating back to the turn of the century. This Dutch Colonial home stands proudly among the very best of them and has been meticulously maintained and preserved to showcase the original mill work, flooring, french doors & trim, in graceful balance with blending updates, as time marches forward. From the winding walkway leading to the front door, you'll know you have arrived at a special place. Every footstep/every transition from 1 room to the next tells the story of this home's "Once upon a time", like turning the pages of a book. Recent updates include a complete tear off roof (2024), new oversized gutters & downspouts (2023), 2nd floor central air (2021), water heater (2020), washer & dryer (2024) and updated electric - just to name a few. Cosmetic updates include refinished hardwood floors and a stone construction fireplace - focal points of the grand living room with tall ceilings. Countless windows provide natural light to the formal dining room and year round sun room. The kitchen, with its many cabinets and abundance of counter tops, is also kitchen table ready and is fully applianced, as well. 4 bedrooms, with 1 full and 1 half bath provide space for the crowd. A full basement, which is dry and deep is home to a large laundry area, with 1st and 2nd floor laundry chute accessibility and offers a staircase from the interior of the home, as well as a 2nd exterior staircase from basement to the back yard. Speaking of the back yard...you'll love the fenced in space, with a large concrete patio, mature trees & access to the 2 car detached brick construction garage. This area is impressively sized and ideal for kids, pets & enjoying privacy. What makes the Cathedral Area so vibrant is the pride of it's residents - many who have grown up in the Cathedral Area from birth and remain today - and why wouldn't they? The area is extremely walkable with an array of corner parks & playgrounds, close to many small neighborhood stores & restaurants, places of worship, schools (both public and private). The University of St. Francis is a couple of minutes away, as is Preservation Park, where summertime outdoor concerts are scheduled and free of charge. The downtown Joliet area is just minutes away and is in the process of extensive renovation, with the goal of making the area pedestrian friendly-great entertainment hub, too! Let's not forget convenient access to Metra, I-80 and I-55.You owe it to yourself to put this home on your list for consideration!
