Property Description
Charming Two-Story Vintage Home in the Heart of Sycamore This delightful two-story home brimming with vintage charm is perfectly situated on a corner lot in the heart of Sycamore. Enjoy in-town living with easy access to downtown Sycamore and the excitement of the Pumpkin Fest Parade, just steps away! The inviting wrap-around porch is an ideal spot to relax with your morning coffee or unwind after a long day. Inside, you'll find original hardwood flooring throughout, adding warmth and character to every room. The spacious living and dining rooms are bright and airy, each featuring a large picture window that lets in plenty of natural light. Beautiful glass-front double doors lead into the dining room, adding a touch of elegance. The kitchen boasts abundant white cabinetry, generous countertop space, and black appliances. A built-in butler's pantry provides additional storage between the dining area and kitchen. Note: the dishwasher is being sold "as-is," as the seller is unsure of its working condition. A convenient powder room is located on the main level for guests. Throughout the home, you'll discover stunning original woodwork, including baseboards, trim, doors, and an exquisite staircase-all contributing to the home's timeless charm. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, each with hardwood flooring, ceiling fans, and ample closet space. The updated full bathroom features tile flooring, a tub/shower combination, a pedestal sink, beadboard walls, and updated lighting. The full, unfinished basement houses the laundry area, complete with a utility sink, and the washer and dryer are included with the home. Outside, the oversized 2.5-car detached garage offers additional storage with floored attic space above, while the large asphalt driveway provides plenty of parking. Recent updates include a new furnace (2019), air conditioning (2016), and water heater (2020). Most windows have been replaced within the past 7-10 years, with the exception of the picture windows. This home's prime location puts you close to downtown Sycamore, shopping, dining, and more-all within the highly rated Sycamore School District. Don't miss the chance to make this vintage charmer your own. Schedule your showing today!
