About This Home
As of June 2021This historic Colonial Revival three story all brick home was constructed in 1918 by Bert Nelson, one of Sycamore's most prolific builders, for his own family. This three-story house combines the charm of curved arches, solid construction of a house with thick plaster walls, and hardwood flooring with later upgrades all the way from 200 amp electrical service to an added in-ground swimming pool, pool house with top balcony, a meditation garden, and large backyard filled with seasonal planting. You step into the entryway with redone stairway and a central carpet runner leading to second level. On the main floor you enter the living room, reading area, dining room, kitchen with a darling breakfast alcove, and enclosed side-porch area through curved archways. There is even a master suite with dressing room, vanity, and multiple closets that opens to large adjacent bathroom with wonderful black and white checkered ceramic tile flooring and a large newer shower with all-glass front. The newer gas hot water boiler provides quiet, efficient, even heat throughout the house. There are 3 bedrooms on the second floor and a finished attic bedroom with amazing hidden storage spaces on both sides of this spacious bedroom. In the basement there is a well-kept sauna, large room with boiler at one end, a laundry area, toilet and shower, and a room with a wall of storage cupboards with bookcases lining 2 walls that used as an office. Seldom do you fine so much usable space in the basement of an older home.
