MOTIVATED seller and negotiable price! This grand, historic, and spacious four bedroom family home is patiently waiting for restoration! It’s just a half block from the village park and Neponset Grade School, (also pictured) a high-achieving K-8 school with small class sizes. Built in 1894, this solid Folk Victorian home was once the home of the town’s most prominent residents, the founders of The Whaples and Farmers State Bank. The home is structurally sound with a full basement, and has large rooms with double-doorways on the main floor, creating an open feeling. It also has nine foot ceilings on the main floor, original, ornate woodwork, wood floors, two fireplaces, and many unique paned, leaded and stained glass windows; some windows with prism glass. Besides the foyer, kitchen, dining room, and two living rooms, the home also has a nice-sized screened-in porch on the front of the house, accessible from the living room through a Dutch door with beveled glass. The home needs TLC and a number of repairs—both inside and out—due to deferred maintenance, which is reflected in the price. However, the house has a lot of potential, and could be restored to its original state. It has a new boiler; hot water heat. The home also has a large, attached two-car garage and breezeway, as well as a large yard for a garden, orchard, or outdoor entertaining. The home is located in a small community, perfect for taking walks, bike-riding and enjoying a slower pace. Besides a good family home, the house would also make a nice summer or weekend retreat home, just two hours from the Chicago suburbs.
