Extremely RARE opportunity to own a piece of Southern Illinois history. Built in 1860 by Maeystown founder Jacob Maeys, this home has remained in the family for multiple generations. So much original woodwork and craftmanship throughout the main floor. Built-ins, stained glass cabinetry, and SOARING ceilings invite you to step back in time. Very spacious home with 4 large bedrooms upstairs, all with large closets. Main floor offers multiple rooms...a 'parlor', living room, dining room, kitchen, full bath, laundry, and a non-confirming 5th bedroom. Full, unfinished basement provides tons of storage and walks out to the back. Zoned AC (1998), radiant heat (updated boiler), Water heater and roof replaced in 2021. This 6.95 acre tract has several OUTBUILDINGS and a BEAUTIFUL creek running through the property. The 'yard' area looks more like a meadow and boasts many access points to the creek. The MASSIVE barn is ready for your horses, with a huge loft too! So many possibilities with this unique property! Come take a look and see for yourself.
