1484 E 325 North Rd., Atwood, IL 61913

This immaculately restored homestead is situated on 12.25 acres, home to all kinds of wildlife, and blanketed with mature trees and indigenous prairie plants. The property has been in the family for decades and is one of the oldest homes in Piatt county, with the original home being built in 1848. It suffered a fire and the only thing left standing was the brick shell. In 2006 the homestead was rebuilt with close attention to detail. At that time they also added a poured concrete basement, 2-car heated garage, and kitchen/living room addition. The inside of the home is absolutely timeless, featuring hickory floors & cabinets from Arthur, 3 wood-burning fireplaces finished with mantles made of Walnut from a tree on the property, and sealed brick walls from the home's original shell. The family room on the main level could easily be turned into a third bedroom and the basement, currently used for a yoga studio, is a great bonus space. Outside you can enjoy the lovely brick paver patio, fire pit, prairie grasses, walking trails, multiple garden spaces, an old water tower, a detached 20x24 workshop with 2 rooms, and a 12x22 quonset that currently houses their tractor. Updates from 2005-2006 include: A 40yr-roof, geothermal heating & cooling w/ electric back-up, 400 amp electrical service, 500 gallon owned propane tank, well w/ variable frequency pump, and a private septic. Other updates include: A/C compressor replaced in 2019, Hot Water Heater in 2020, and freshly stained cedar siding in 2021.
