Introducing 1200 North Illinois St. where classic architecture pairs with modern comforts, exceptional space and an unbeatable location.
Expanded and extensively remodeled in 2019, this classic 1939 Colonial retains timeless architectural charm while incorporating living spaces in the right places...chef's kitchen opens the family room with that hard to find screen porch overlooking the rear yard. The original formal living and dining room and cozy library/office honor the home's historic character yet blend well with the modern addition. 1300 Illinois offers 3 finished levels, 4 (maybe 5) bedrooms, and 4 full baths.
A welcoming old-fashioned covered front porch sets the tone, opening to a spacious arrival foyer. The original portion of the home retains its character with a formal living room featuring a gas fireplace, a formal dining room, and a cozy library perfect for reading or it is a great home office.
At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Complete with a large center island, premium finishes, abundant cabinetry, and generous workspace, the kitchen flows effortlessly into the spacious family room highlighted by a wall of custom built-ins. French doors lead to the screened porch overlooking the private backyard—it a very nice spot!
A standout feature is the private main-level suite, complete with bedroom, full bath, walk-in closet, and laundry, offering a rare versatility for today's revolving lifetyles...ideal for multigenerational living, an au pair, extended guests, aging in place, or anyone seeking the convenience of one-level living.
Upstairs, the primary suite features a large walk-in closet and a spacious remodeled primary bath with double vanities, a soaking clawfoot tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, a remodeled hall bath, and permanent stairs to the attic complete the second level.
The finished lower level offers outstanding additional living space with a recreation room featuring custom built-ins, a den with a private exterior entrance, a full bath, a flexible bonus room perfect for exercise or hobbies, abundant storage, and a second laundry area.
Outside, mature landscaping creates a peaceful and private backyard retreat . A private driveway accommodates two vehicles, while the home's location on one of the neighborhood's most desirable streets offers both charm and convenience.
1200 Illinois St successfully balances original character with thoughtfully designed modern living.
