About This Home

As of March 2025

This stunning, recently remodeled home on Ottawa's beautiful south side offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Nestled on a double corner lot along the picturesque E Van Buren St., just blocks from the Illinois River and walking distance to downtown, this home provides endless indoor and outdoor entertainment potential. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a spacious 2,749 square feet, the thoughtfully designed open floor plan creates seamless sight lines throughout the main level. Every detail of the interior and exterior was updated in 2019, including durable pressed wood siding and a sleek metal roof. The massive double lot provides abundant outdoor space and would be perfect for an in-ground pool. Inside, you'll find a first-floor master suite, a chef's kitchen with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and a stunning 10' island with contrasting gray cabinetry. The warmth of 3/4" hickory hardwood floors flows throughout, complementing the custom woodwork and craftsmanship found in every corner. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage, separate heating and cooling systems for each floor, a cozy gas fireplace in the living room, a 2-tiered paver patio, an unfinished waterproofed basement, and a charming covered porch with wood flooring and ceiling.
