    Own a Piece of Jerseyville History! Welcome to this extraordinary historic estate nestled on 5 picturesque acres with a private pond in one of Jerseyville’s most historically significant locations. Built in 1930, this remarkable residence sits on land believed to have once been part of the original Jersey County Fairgrounds. Rich in character and timeless architecture, this stately home showcases classic Colonial Revival design with Italianate influences, highlighted by its iconic observation tower, expansive covered porch, and commanding presence. While honoring its historic roots, the home has been thoughtfully updated to offer today’s modern comforts. The heart of the home is the stunning, fully remodeled kitchen, sure to be the envy of every guest. Featuring gorgeous quartz countertops, a double wall oven, abundant cabinetry, and a charming breakfast nook. The spacious main level offers room for everyone with a grand living room centered around a gorgeous fireplace, an additional family room with adjoining dining area, welcoming entryways and foyer, convenient main-floor laundry and full bathroom, and a main-floor bedroom complete with a beautifully updated ensuite bath. Upstairs, you’ll find generously sized bedrooms with the possibility of a 4th bedroom, additional full bathrooms, and large walk-in closets throughout, providing exceptional storage and comfort for family and guests alike. The updates continue throughout the home with a brand-new roof, new windows throughout, new flooring, new light fixtures, new mini-split systems, and a new hot water heater. The sewer line has also been replaced from the house to the street—an important improvement for added peace of mind. The well-maintained basement offers incredible storage space, while the attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. Outside, mature trees, expansive green space, and the peaceful pond create a setting that’s as breathtaking as it is private. More than just a home, this is an opportunity to become the next steward of one of Jerseyville’s landmark properties. It is time to write the next chapter in its story.
