About This Home
The Mulberry Estate | 407 E. Mulberry St., Watseka, IL A Rare Blend of History & Heart Step into an enchanting slice of Watseka's past. This beautiful 4-bedroom, 1-bath home was built by prominent local William McHenry for his son John - an acclaimed author who penned works from a now-legendary nook upstairs. Every inch of the 2,342 sq ft residence speaks to timeless craftsmanship, from warm wood accents to thoughtful renovations, including a new roof (2021) and modern tile updates. Situated on a quiet street, this stately two-story home sits on a spacious 120' x 150' lot - and notably, it's outside the flood plain. A rare opportunity to own a property that offers both significance and soul.
