About This Home

As of November 2022

This fine, old home is situated on a corner lot in a quiet and friendly neighborhood close to downtown with plenty of mature trees and ornamental plantings in the fenced yard. It was the happy home of an artist for nearly forty years who was a bit less interested in the newest fads in home decor than in pursuing her art. Even though the house could use quite a bit of cosmetic work, it has good bones and a lot of potential. It has a newer roof on both the house and the two car garage and a newer furnace, oven and water heater. Because of the age of the house, there are likely hardwood floors under the carpeting with lovely old woodwork around doors and windows. Sold as is at a reasonable price to allow for improvements at your leisure. On a corner lot with mature trees. Close to library, post office and downtown Sycamore. Two bedrooms, plus bonus space for a nursery, office or den. Kitchen, dining room, living room and main level bath. Furnace new in 2015. Walk in attic space for possible play room or storage. 220 Outlet in basement that was used for a kiln. Two car garage and fenced yard.
