Property Description

Sitting on a large double lot with fantastic curb appeal, this 1,804 sq. ft., 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is a rare piece of local history. It is a true two-owner home that has been meticulously cared for by the current family since 1968, beautifully blending its original 1905 character with solid updates like a 10-year-old roof and vinyl windows throughout. Inside, you'll love the original natural woodwork and gorgeous built-in shelving featured throughout the entire house. The main floor offers a beautiful flowing layout with a living room, a family room, a spacious dining room perfect for gatherings, and a large eat-in kitchen packed with counter and cabinet space. There is also a convenient main-level bedroom with its own private bath and stand-up shower-plus original hardwood floors waiting to be uncovered right under the carpet! Take the classic butler's staircase upstairs to find a large, versatile loft, three additional bedrooms, and a full bath, while the massive attic above offers incredible storage or the potential to be finished into extra living area. Downstairs, the basement houses the laundry along with a unique conversation piece: walls finished with original pine boards salvaged from the old Boone County Fairgrounds in Spencer Park. Outside, the property features a detached two-car garage complete with a covered patio and an attached shed for extra storage. It's in a great location just minutes from State Street shopping and dining, within walking distance to parks, the library, and downtown Belvidere, and offers an easy drive to I-90. This is a solid, well-built home on a great piece of land that you truly need to see in person!
