About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to the George P. Wild House, a stately Italianate-style Victorian built in 1869 for Sycamore dry goods merchant George P. Wild. Designed by a Chicago architect, this iconic, historically NAMED property is full of original character and rich history. Set on approximately 0.7 acres, the estate offers over 4,500 square feet of living space, featuring 12-foot ceilings, 5 fireplaces, 6 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a formal dining room, den, 3 living rooms, and a spacious foyer. The laundry room is located on the second floor, and both front and back open porches provide excellent outdoor space. The kitchen will require a full remodel, but the generous layout and square footage offer outstanding potential for customization. Original hardwood floors run throughout much of the home. A full 2,269 square foot unfinished basement and a large walk up unfinished attic also approximately 2,269 square feet provide even more usable space and flexibility. This is an estate sale. Sold AS IS / WHERE IS. All furniture and contents of house & garage stay. Information on mechanicals is limited. The home will need work to bring it back to life. So much potential. This is truly a must-see property! And one more thing...the property is located along the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival Parade route for convenient viewing each October!!!
