Welcome to 401 W Main Street, Mechanicsburg, IL – a timeless piece of history waiting for its next chapter. This 1866 2-story historical charmer exudes character and offers the perfect blend of original details and modern updates, making it a true gem for those who appreciate vintage charm. As you step inside, you'll be captivated by the historical nuances, including 10 ft ceilings on the main floor, intricate trim work, transom windows, bay windows, and original exterior and interior doors. All original woodwork on the main floor has been lovingly preserved upstairs, you'll find a partially finished attic with a pool table and potential for further development. The dry basement provides easy access to the 2 + car garage. The clubhouse, pool, hot tub and pool shed will stay with the property. Recent updates include new windows (except in the attic space), two furnaces (one new in 2014), a new A/C unit (2017), and flooring (2014). The roof on the garage and lower levels was redone approximately three years ago, and a new front porch was added. The seller is generously leaving behind old hardware, doors, extra windows, and siding materials to assist the next owner in making this house their own. Please note that the house has been pre-inspected, and it will be sold "As Is - As Reported." The price reflects the current mid renovation condition of the home.
