Units n/a

This magnificent 2,262 SqFt, 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Victorian on nearly 2 acres, complete with two garages (a 2-car and a 1-car) and an 82x36 Morton Building, is more than just a house; it's a piece of history waiting for its next chapter. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a significant property where classic architecture, timeless character, and enduring charm meet expansive space. A bright, clean, and dry basement with both interior and exterior entrances adds valuable utility and storage. The grand foyer welcomes you into a layout designed for both comfortable living and gracious entertaining. Inside, you'll discover generously proportioned rooms adorned with authentic period details such as intricate custom woodwork, rich hardwood floors, soaring 9.5' ceilings on the main floor, stunning stained-glass accents, amazing built-ins, a classic claw foot tub, elegant pocket and French doors, exposed brick, two staircases, and even a delightful under-stair closet. Beyond the vintage allure, your practical side will appreciate modern conveniences like the fireplace with convective heat and a cleverly hidden dumbwaiter for firewood, a kitchen garbage receptacle with a sliding countertop lid, and discreet pull-out shelves in the pantry. (SEE PICTURES FOR A FEATURE SHEET WITH ADDITIONAL UPDATES). And for added peace of mind, the seller is providing a 1-year home warranty! Beyond its timeless interiors, this property offers a private oasis featuring a wrap around porch (picture watching sunrises and sunsets while sipping your favorite beverages), serene patio, a bubbling Koi pond with waterfall, and lush gardens complete with pergolas and a walking path. It's an ideal setting for cherished moments with loved ones or quiet personal reflection. Adding to its remarkable versatility, the spacious outbuilding boasts a 10x12 overhead door, a 40x13 drywalled shop area with a concrete floor, electricity, and a manufactured wood burner. This estate truly caters to all your indoor and outdoor hobbies, or even a thriving small business venture. No matter your interests, this location has you covered. Enjoy unparalleled convenience with groceries, banks, healthcare, worship, pet care, restaurants, and diverse shopping all within easy reach. Yet, it's quaint small-town charm truly sets the stage for a relaxed lifestyle, away from the hustle and bustle. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to golf, sports fields, fitness centers, parks, and abundant summer and winter activities including hunting and fishing. For higher education, both a community college and a university are nearby. You're also just 55 minutes from Chicago, 25 minutes from the Metra commuter train, and 20 minutes from the major retail hub of Bourbonnais. Plus, the highly acclaimed Grant Park School District has been consistently recognized by the U.S. News & World Report, Niche and The Kankakee Journal for excelling in academics, athletics, and community engagement. Settle in and prepare for your guests to be impressed!
