About This Home

As of October 2025

Built in 1857 by Josiah Little-founder of the original J. Little Bank, now First National Bank of Amboy-this stately brick home, affectionately known as The Little House, is a rare blend of local history and timeless craftsmanship. Set on over 1 acres at the edge of town and located directly across from Amboy City Park, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a peaceful setting with convenient access to town amenities. Inside, original hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by classic built-in interior window shutters that add charm and character to every room. The newly renovated kitchen features elegant quartz countertops and modern updates, while the main-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. A detached 2-car garage includes a spacious workshop-ideal for projects, storage, or extra work space. If you're seeking a home with rich history, thoughtful updates, and room to breathe, The Little House is truly one of a kind. Being Sold As-Is
