Classic beauty and thoughtful updates merge in this beautifully preserved 1914 American Colonial residence, rich with original detail and refined charm. Set graciously back from the street on a spacious lot, this 3-bedroom, 1.1-bath home offers 2,020 square feet of living space, plus a full walk-up attic and full basement, providing exceptional potential for future expansion. Original millwork and narrow-plank hardwood floors grace the living and dining rooms and continue throughout the upstairs, enhanced by classic wainscoting in both the dining room and primary suite. A charming Dutch door, laundry chute, and period craftsmanship speak to the home's heritage, while modern upgrades ensure everyday comfort-including dual-zoned HVAC, freshly cleaned air ducts, and newer or brand-new double-hung windows (with lifetime warranty-some delivered in Sept). The kitchen features original built-ins alongside modern touches like freshly painted cabinets, new hardware, a brand new tile backsplash, and updated appliances including a dishwasher and microwave (both 2023). The main-floor den offers flexibility and can easily serve as a fourth bedroom! A full basement with exterior access and plumbing provides ample storage. Outdoors, enjoy the freshly rebuilt front and rear porches, a generous backyard, and a detached two-car garage with a dedicated workshop and patio area. Walkable to the high school!! This home is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained piece of architectural history-where character, space, and modern convenience converge in the heart of Sycamore!! Get ready to fall in love!!! A MUST SEE IN PERSON!!
