Where Historic Grandeur Meets Modern Peace of Mind. Nestled on the desirable east side, this 1908 residence is a masterclass in architectural preservation and intelligent renovation. More than just a home, it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of history that has been meticulously updated for contemporary life. A grand foyer ushers you into an expansive, light-filled living room, where the original fireplace stands as the centerpiece of the room and gleaming hardwood floors flow underfoot. The adjacent sunroom-a delightful space with classic brick flooring-is the perfect sanctuary for relaxation, morning coffee or a private office. Ascend the home's original, beautifully preserved staircase to the second level, where four impressive bedrooms offer abundant space, large closets, and the same timeless character found throughout. The west bedroom provides a truly special escape: a private covered balcony with a porch swing, offering serene views of the Fox River and the area's iconic steeples. All The Hard Work Is Done.
