Description:
Our home was built in 1936 by the original property developers on a private drive. We are only the second owners. It includes almost 1 1/2 acres with over 40 trees and a large greenhouse or workshop. All the bathrooms have been updated with granite or stone. There are 16 picture windows in the house overlooking a very private setting with a circle driveway within walking distance of Illinois College.
The living room has a large wrap-around walnut mantle over the fireplace and opens to a spacious dining room and sun porch with 3 sliding glass doors that can be enjoyed through 3 seasons. The kitchen and breakfast room have new tile and look out to a park like setting with a large patio and arbor off the potting shed. On the main floor there is also a den with a wall of built-in bookshelves and a 1/2 bath.
There are 4 bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has its own bath with 2 sinks and two separate closets. There are two hall closets and one large walk-in with built-in shelves for lots of storage space and a basement.
The exterior has been painted within the last 6 years and the roof was replaced in 2003.
