No need to look further! You've just found your forever home in the welcoming community of Batavia. This Italianate style home has five bedrooms, two full baths, blending beautifully with modern elegance. The land was formerly owned by one of Batavia's earliest settlers and industrialist, John Van Nortwick. We invite you to enjoy this piece of history! This 2,442 square foot home was originally built in 1872 and includes three irresistible decorative porches for you to choose from - two facing east flanking the bay windows on S Jackson St and one facing south on Main St. As you enter through the original double front doors, your eyes are drawn upward towards the grand, sweeping staircase. Meticulous attention has been placed on this entry, after removing layers of paint to reveal the warmth of the original walnut and Douglas fir staircase. A ceiling medallion showcases the updated foyer light fixtures and wonderful high ceilings. SO much natural light shines through the 7' tall windows that surround the main floor! A team of craftsman carefully dismantled the first-floor single pane windows, preserving the vintage curved frames and installing new energy efficient double thermo-pane glass! You'll want to gather the family around the brand new marble framed fireplace for the holidays, as well. The birch logs add a cozy country feel. Continue the historic legacy of this unique home either as its next passionate owner or perhaps even as an exquisite Bed and Breakfast opportunity! There are two bedrooms on the main floor, perfect for related living or even a home office, if needed. New high efficiency Lennox furnace including a programmable Nest Pro thermostat, new 200-amp electric service, new plumbing, elegant 12-inch base molding throughout the entire home, and so much more! The brand new spacious kitchen has soft close Shaker-style cabinets, Quartz Countertops and complete LG stainless steel appliance package and a pass-through window to the beautiful dining area, complete with Bay windows and lush garden views. The second floor offers three bedrooms, including a generous primary suite, sitting room, primary bath, and deep walk-in closet, as well as a laundry area. Beautiful tree-lined streets lead you to the Batavia Riverwalk, Farmer's Market, Batavia Public Library, the Fox River and many boutique shops. Don't miss the opportunity to become the next steward of this historic treasure!
