This elegant Georgian Style historic brick home located in rural White Hall, Illinois sets on a scenic 14 acres, including a beautiful stocked 3 acre pond. The land was purchased in 1830 by the Roodhouse family who immigrated to America from Cawood-North-Riding in Yorkshire, England hence the name Cawood Manor. The current home was built in 1843 and was completely restored, remodeled and expanded in 1976 featuring colonial grace and modern comfort. The home has approximately 5600 sq. ft. of living space, a large attached 2 car garage, and a 425 sq. ft. Three Season room overlooking the pond and landscape. On the main level is a spacious Living Room with a beautiful wet bar, colonial style fireplace and a door leading out to the relaxing covered deck overlooking the pond. Additionally on the main floor are a Country Kitchen, a Library/Den surrounded in floor to ceiling crafted shelves which leads into the lovely Three Season Room, a Formal Dining Room, and a Powder Room decorated with a custom Italian vanity and imported fixtures. Leading to the upper floor is a stunning spiral staircase at the end of a grand hall with original carved handrails. On the second floor, there are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, laundry & craft room, and an Alcove ideal for an office or Playroom. The Master Bedroom is 26x18 with a walk in closet and a grand 15x18 Master Bath. Below the main level is a partially finished basement for a family or game room, an organized storage room with shelves, and the original cellar which was preserved to maintain the originality of this historic home. The majority of wood in the home including floors, woodwork trim, paneling, fireplace mantels and staircase handrails is black walnut cut from trees on the farm when the house was originally built. Nearly every room is adorned with gorgeous light fixtures fitting the natural historic décor in the home. Other buildings on the property are an 19th century barn, the original stone Spring House with an active spring and a 1800"s railroad box car perfect for a workshop and storage. 7.8 acres are tillable and are currently cash rental for the owner. To complete this peaceful setting is a large ornate fountain, a lovely gazebo, a walking bridge crossing the edge of the pond and a fishing dock for family and friends to enjoy.
