Tucked within the quiet heart of Chenoa, Illinois, a rare legacy stands waiting for its next chapter. Built at the turn of the century by Jesse King -an influential developer and co-owner of the King & Hamilton Co.-this stately Queen Anne Victorian was more than a home. It was a declaration of success, a cornerstone in the fabric of Chenoa's early growth, and a reflection of the opulence and craftsmanship of its era. Constructed in 1899 with meticulous stone masonry and refined architectural detail, this iconic residence once overlooked six acres of estate land. Though the original parcel has long since been divided, the home still commands presence on a generous .6-acre corner lot-quiet, elegant, and brimming with possibility. Today, the "Old King House has been restored not only with care but with reverence. While every inch of the finished living spaces have been brought up to modern standards of luxury, its soul remains intact. From the soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main level, to the custom woodwork and hand carved ornate columns matching the preserved original fireplace mantle, the home blends turn-of-the-century romance with contemporary style in perfect harmony. Step inside to find 3,160 square feet of finished living space (6,120 sq ft total including attic and basement), where light dances across brand new floors and flows through oversized picture windows. The centerpiece kitchen is a culinary dream-boasting custom soft-close cabinetry, black granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, built-in coffee bar, and new stainless steel appliances. With 4-5 bedrooms, including a main floor Den/bedroom suite, and two fully renovated bathrooms featuring custom tilework and floating glass shower walls, every inch of the home has been reimagined for modern comfort. Second floor laundry and a newly finished four-season room with full heating and air adds even more functional space and a cozy retreat for year-round enjoyment. The home has been completely rewired, including the installation of a new electrical panels. Brand new drywall now spans all walls and ceilings throughout the home. All faulty plumbing was removed and replaced with new fixtures. The original wood accents and decorative trim outdoors have been carefully restored and painted to match the newly installed roof and trims, adding an elegant contrast to the home's historic exterior. New siding, soffits, fascia, gutters, designer lighting, ceiling fans in every bedroom, and a tankless water heater are just a few of the modern touches. The entire lawn has been landscaped and reseeded to complete the outdoor transformation. The crown jewel? A sprawling 1,500 sq ft attic with 9-foot ceilings, primed for expansion-an artist's loft, a luxury guest retreat, or an additional full bath await your vision. Below, a freshly solid basement with stone foundation and brick inner walls offers equal square footage with endless potential. Outside, the historic Carriage House is solid and has been improved, professionally repainted, and features a two-car garage with a massive 900 sq ft unfinished extra room space above-perfect for a private office, studio, guest suite, or future apartment. With timeless style, generous space, and a past that reads like a storybook, this home isn't just a residence-it's a statement and an anchor in history.
