About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to 332 E Ottawa Street-where history meets heart in the charming town of Sycamore. Once the beloved B.A. Lindgren Dairy from 1919 to 1970, this beautifully preserved two-story farmhouse now stands as a timeless retreat, lovingly updated for modern living while honoring its storied past. Nestled on a tree-lined street and just a short walk from the vibrant shops, dining, and events of downtown Sycamore, this home invites you to slow down and savor each moment. Step inside and feel the embrace of natural light pouring through large windows in the formal living room, where views of mature trees and blooming flower beds bring the outside in. Hardwood floors lead you through the home, into the spacious dining room-an ideal setting for holidays, laughter, and late-night conversations. The heart of the home is the kitchen, anchored by a central island and open to a cozy family room-creating a seamless flow for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Nearby, a full bath and main-level laundry offer convenience, while a beautifully crafted wooden spiral staircase invites you to explore further. Descend into the basement and discover a versatile, high-ceilinged space with gleaming epoxy floors-ready to become your playroom, studio, or storage haven. Upstairs, retreat to the serene master bedroom with its walk-in closet and calming ambiance. Two additional bedrooms-each with hardwood flooring and generous closet space-offer room to grow, create, or simply rest. Out back, the expansive deck calls for summer dinners and quiet mornings with coffee. The deep yard, framed by mature trees and vibrant gardens, is a haven for play, gardening, and gathering. The detached four-car tandem garage with an attached workshop (complete with a half bath) is a dream for hobbyists and with additional attic storage upstairs, has incredible potential for conversion into an apartment or guest suite, inviting endless possibilities. While the storage shed and trailer parking add practicality. More than just a house, 332 E Ottawa Street is a piece of Sycamore's history-waiting for you to write the next chapter.
