About This Home

As of February 2020

This darling 4 bed/2 bath charmer in Sycamore's historic district is just two houses off famous Somonauk St. and within walking distance of downtown Sycamore. This home was lovingly updated in 2016, including refinished wood floors, addition of chair rail, crown molding and solid 6-panel oak doors, updated stone fireplace, gorgeous tile backsplash, touchless faucet, and reverse osmosis drinking water in kitchen, and new electric wiring throughout main floor. Fenced back yard is an outdoor retreat with a huge deck and pergola and pretty landscaping. House has tons of storage and a usable deep-pour basement. Attractive heated detached 2+ car "man's" garage with newer electric, siding and roof. Furnace replaced 2014. Air conditioner replaced 2016. This home has it all. Move in and enjoy!
