856 S Chicago Ave., Kankakee, IL 60901

Beautiful Craftsman home in the Historic District across the street from the Kankakee River. The covered front porch greets you for wonderful times with visiting neighbors and friends. The stunning open living room (with an alcove next to the fireplace) and dining room with quality stained oak trim is a true wow factor to enjoy. You'll love the oversized trim, beamed ceilings and pillars dividing the living room from the dining room. A true feature of the Craftsman style. The dining room includes a built in China cabinet. First floor also has a half bath, an additional den and a library with built in bookshelves and seats. The kitchen has a dinette area about 8'7 x 7'8. Updates include a new water heater and dishwasher 2019 and the roof 2014. The original windows add to the charm as many swing in-word. The owner appreciates the Historic District with an active community of people who care about preservation. Owner also loves the neighbors and neighborhood. Enjoy views of the Kankakee River, and launch your boat down the street at the public launching area by the Kankakee Boat Club. Perhaps the tennis courts and trails at Cobb Park may be right for you. This is a wonderful home that has been truly enjoyed by the current owner. Call today for your private showing.
