Rural perfection! Located just 10 minutes south of town, enjoy roaming about this late-1800's wonderful 4BR, 2.5BA Victorian home with poultry coop, corn crib, and heavenly grotto located on 4 acres PLUS additional 2.5 grassy acres across the street (3453 S State Rd 115). From the circular drive, enter the airy 3-season room and then through the 130-yr old ornate front door with intricate woodwork and rosettes running throughout. A family room welcomes you with classic beveled transom, gas cast-iron stove with original mantle/surround, high baseboards, and ongoing 10ft ceilings. Stately staircase is adorned with antique newel post, spindles, and wainscot wall. Walking on, find a large dining room with crown/dental mold accent, wainscot walls, and old kitchen food pass-thru. The eat-in kitchen has a butler pantry room with plenty of food storage as well as additional walk-in pantry closet. Off the kitchen is a full bath, laundry room, big living room, and enclosed back porch overlooking the spacious back acreage. Take either of the two separate staircases up to the 2nd floor with 4 bedrooms, several with multiple closets, a huge full bath, and a small additional 2nd floor study for reading with additional staircase up to the full-size 44ft x 19ft unfinished attic; perfect for storage or even possibly finishing. There is a 6ft deep full lookout basement with 3 freezers, fine-working boiler, hot water heater, water softener, all updated electric including separate panel for the 11kW Generac Generator, workbench, back-up hand-pumping well for emergency water, workbench area, and stairs to exterior access. Other interesting points... the side of the corn crib boasts an award-winning barn quilt featured on the Kankakee County Barn Quilt Tour! (See Additional Information) The main parcel is flanked on the West by a beautiful grove of trees (not part of this property). There are 2 enclosed porches plus one traditional porch. The house has all vinyl replacement windows. There is a small local airport located near town for the well-travelled buyer. The vacant land included in the sale has a well from the old structure that once was located there. Home being sold as an As-Is-Estate-Sale. This is a fantastic place to call your own sprawling homestead!!
