Don't miss out on this stunning historic home, located right in the heart of downtown Batavia! Great location, walkable to shopping, dining, the Riverwalk, the Fox River Trail, and more! This is a unique chance to own a piece of Batavia's history. The home was originally built by the Hollister family in 1894, and it has been beautifully updated and restored throughout and has a BRAND NEW ROOF! Some of the original features include leaded and stained glass windows, pocket doors, built-ins, radiators, and ornate door hardware. Hardwood flooring, tall ceilings, and tons of natural light throughout! The sunny living room features a picture window with leaded glass transom, a picture rail, and pocket doors to the foyer and to the adjoining family room. The family room showcases a cozy brick fireplace, and flows into the formal dining room with another pocket door. The dining room exits to a side porch, and features original built-ins for storage. The stunning remodeled kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, mosaic tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, high-end stainless steel Viking appliances, and heated flooring. Off of the kitchen is a corridor with a half bath and more original built-ins for pantry storage. A private home office completes the main level. Upstairs, the spacious owner's suite includes a private en-suite master bath. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th bedrooms are all generously sized and share access to the updated full hall bath. Off of the hallway you'll find a door that exits to a private covered balcony! The full walk-up attic could be finished in the future to add more living space! Laundry is located in the basement, which also offers plenty of storage space. Outside, the lush backyard is shaded by mature landscaping, and is newly fenced-in! The stone paver patio is a perfect spot to relax or entertain. The original carriage house is being used as a two-car garage, and it has a 2nd floor loft space that could be finished as a potential workshop area. Stately brick driveway. This property has a rare blend of historic charm and modern conveniences. Truly a unique opportunity... WELCOME HOME!!!
