About This Home
As of May 2025Don't miss this unique property featuring SEVEN bedrooms and three full bathrooms! With very close proximity to NIU, this would make an awesome income-producing property. This home was a boarding house for Northwestern Medicine, so it is up to code with emergency exits, fire doors & sprinklers, and handicap accessibility, and all bedrooms on the 2nd & 3rd floor are individually numbered. 220 College is a charming Victorian home with a wraparound porch. Upon entering the family room, you'll notice the gorgeous original woodwork in the staircase and built-in bench. The family room also showcases a beautiful fireplace. Adjoining the family room is the parlor, which has double doors leading to the formal dining room. The dining room features a gorgeous built-in hutch, and has a closet, so it could function as an EIGHTH bedroom if you need more space. Large kitchen with room for a small table. A first-floor bedroom and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, the second level of the home has 4 bedrooms (201, 202, 203, & 204), which share access to a full hall bath with two separate showers! Bedroom #204 has an emergency exit to the flat roof over the addition. The third level of the home features the 6th and 7th bedrooms (301 & 302), and a full hall bath. Bedroom #302 exits to an exterior staircase at the back of the home. The unfinished basement has plenty of additional space, with room for storage plus the laundry room and a utility room. The shared parking lot includes 4 parking spaces, one of which is a handicap accessible space with access to the wheelchair ramp for entry. Great location, between NIU's campus and downtown Dekalb. The property is being sold AS-IS. Don't miss this rare opportunity!
