1008 W Healey St Champaign, IL 61821

What a delight to offer this history packed home to the market after 40+ years. Located amongst diverse-styled homes in a Clark Park neighborhood and situated on a double corner lot, the striking curb appeal is enhanced by the coolest Hawthorn Tree gracing the NE corner of the front lawn. Designed by and built in 1927 as the personal residence of Architect Frederick E Berger, architect/partner in the Champaign based Architectural firm of F Berger and R Kelley. The home retains the original blue prints for those intrigued by history. This 2 story has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, full basement and 2 car attached side entry garage, full walk-up attic, radiator steam heat, July '25 installation of main level split system heat pump (transferrable warranty) and a 2nd floor AC unit (2011) for zoned cooling. The boiler has been regularly serviced by Colbert Plumbing and has stood the test of time. The home's main floor has a nice flow with a gracious entry and open staircase, a generous dining room with original crown molding, large living room with crown molding and fireplace, a brick floored screen porch is accessed from the living room, a paneled library overlooks the backyard, an under-the-stairs half bath with the cutest arched door, kitchen with St. Charles metal cabinetry, (considered the cream of the crop in their heyday, manufactured in St Charles, Ill, sought after for their vintage/mid century appeal) and a separate table area for casual dining and conversation. Original hardwood flooring is under the entry and living room carpeting. A wide staircase leads to the 2nd floor and 4 large bedrooms with generous closet space and 2 full baths. Two bedrooms have a convenient Jack and Jill full bath configuration while the remaining full bath is located directly adjacent to the main bedroom. Hardwood flooring is in all bedrooms. The attic staircase is accessed from the 2nd floor landing and I'd be surprised if you've previously seen such a pristine attic! The rafters are fully insulated and felt surprisingly comfortable during the hottest days this summer..the space is excellent for storage or to finish for additional living space. The original stairs to the basement are located in the garage to facilitate moving items in and out while interior stairs were added during the last kitchen remodel. The unfinished dry basement houses the mechanicals, laundry room with sink, extra rooms for flexible use/storage and plumbing exists for a toilet. A beautifully landscaped yard offers plenty of eye appeal, privacy and space for outdoor enjoyment. A handsome paver walkway is found on the East side leading to a smaller screen porch which connects the garage/house and provides protection from inclement weather. The roof is approximately 12 years old, water heater 2020. The wiring was updated by a previous owner. The home has been pre inspected by Healthy Homes and is available upon request. If you've an eye for quality construction and appreciate the great bones found in Century homes, this one provides the opportunity to add your personal touch and updates.
