About This Home

As of April 2021

WOW! Look at how well this woodwork has been preserved for over 100 years! Looking for another owner who can be a part of preserving the woodwork for another 100 years. From the moment you enter this home through the original wood front door you will be impressed with all the natural woodwork from the stairway to the upstairs bedrooms, the living room fireplace mantle, the wall to wall dining room buffet, door and window trim and more! The bedrooms upstairs are sizable. The large bathroom has a period clawfoot tub. See what you can do to possibly finish the walk up attic later for kids to play, a study area or artists loft. 2 convenient period products are the laundry chute to get the dirty clothes to the washer & dryer and the milk hole where you can potentially have Oberweis deliver milk and other products! Many newer double pane windows and brand new 2020 water heater. Basement has a shower to clean up from the pool, park or working in the yard. Kankakee School District offers more program choices than any other area school district. Unique choices like Magnet & Montessori, the Culinary Arts with the Kays Kitchen food truck. Located close to a riverfront park with walking trails, shuffleboard, 8 tennis courts, the riverfront, the Riverview Historic District, another park with at least 3 ball diamonds, tennis courts, boat launches and country club. Also close to the Farmers Market in downtown Kankakee along with businesses such as Grapes and Hops, Station Street Cafe, Moon Cookie Gallery, Rigos Cafe, Stefari Cafe and more! Within approximately 1 hour to downtown Chicago to take advantage of professional sports, jobs, friends, family, plays, museums, Navy Pier and more! This affordable home is waiting for you to become part of the outstanding community! This American 4 Square home with Craftsman style interior could be your dream home! This won't last long ...
