Lovingly owned by the same family for over 70 years, this timeless Batavia treasure offers the rare opportunity to own a true piece of historical charm. Built in the mid-1800s, this beautifully maintained home seamlessly blends timeless character with modern updates in an ideal downtown location. From its inviting front porch to its period details, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers warmth, style, and comfort throughout. This home has been updated over the years while maintaining its heritage. A 2007 renovation added modern conveniences, updated electrical, new guest rooms, a refreshed kitchen, and renovated baths. Major updates include roof (2007-08), siding (2005), and newer furnace, A/C, and water heater (2021-23). Historic touches remain throughout, and local lore even suggests Mary Todd Lincoln visited friends here while staying nearby at Bellevue (unverified but cherished). Original blueprints and renovation photos are available for the next owner. Enjoy the perfect blend of historic character and everyday livability, all within minutes to Batavia's shops, restaurants, and scenic riverwalk.
