About This Home

As of June 2025

You are going to FALL in love with this charming 3 bedroom 1.5 story home located on a wide half acre lot within the village limits of Millbrook. The large open front porch invites you to sit a bit and enjoy the beauty of nature surrounding the area. As you step into the spacious foyer your eye is drawn to the original open staircase that leads to two generous bedrooms with multiple walk-in closets on the second floor. Did you notice the beautiful leaded glass window overlooking the porch? There is a single, large pocket door tucked into the wall leading into the large living room and dining rooms where you will find a beautiful south facing bay window with another leaded glass window. The FIRST FLOOR MASTER bedroom is located just off the dining room. The eat-in country kitchen has been updated with custom cabinetry, all appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The first floor laundry room is combined with the glassed in back porch that doubles as a mud room. The main level bath has been updated and features a step-in shower. There is a full basement under the main portion of the home with a finished family room and a large utility room. The boiler was replaced in 2021. The home has zoned heating with a thermostat located on the main floor and on the 2nd floor. There is radiant heat under the kitchen and back porch floors, so look up when you are in the basement! The .54 acre lot is dotted with mature trees and has three additional structures. The detached garage, the 8' x 16' workshop and the 8' x 14' 'Cub house' for storing the riding mower. The home has a large blacktopped driveway and an access ramp. Millbrook is a hidden gem, with over 300 acres of Forest Preserve, located just a short drive from Yorkville, Plano, Sandwich and Newark and located on the banks of the Fox River and home to Shuh Shuh Gah canoe launch! Millbrook is part of Newark School District. This well loved home has been in the same family for 73 years and tho it has been well maintained the home is being sold in 'as-is' condition.
