About This Home

As of October 2025

Discover the timeless appeal of this Craftsman home in the Cedar Crest Historic District. With 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this property blends historic character with modern updates. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, classic built-in features, and a warm sense of history throughout. The fourth bedroom is a historic sleeping porch with three walls of windows-an inviting retreat full of light and character. Both full bathrooms were remodeled in 2018, and all appliances stay with the home for added convenience. The living room is anchored by an energy-efficient wood-burning stove insert (2024), adding both charm and function. A new front door with dimmable window (2025) creates a welcoming entry while adding a touch of modern style. Major systems and updates include a furnace and A/C (2016), roof tear-off (2014), 50-gallon water heater (2025), updated plumbing (copper and PEX), upgraded electrical to Romex with a 200-amp panel, and a 30-amp transfer switch. Outdoor living is just as special, with a 10x20 covered and screened front porch, large flagstone patio, two covered areas in back, and a fenced yard. The home also offers a full unfinished basement and a 1-car garage. Front landscaping was refreshed in 2024, enhancing the home's curb appeal. This 3-owner home offers Craftsman charm, historic significance, and modern livability-a rare find in one of Normal's most cherished neighborhoods.
