Description

Located on Sycamore's iconic Pumpkin Festival parade route, this beautifully updated historic home offers over 5,000 finished square feet across four levels, including a finished basement and a versatile third-floor retreat. Set on a picturesque 3/4-acre lot with professionally maintained landscaping, the home features four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms, providing comfort and space for everyday living and entertaining. The home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates, showcasing a gracious foyer, hardwood floors, stained glass windows, and original oak pocket doors. The gourmet kitchen was fully redone in 2020 with quartz counter-tops, a marble tile wall, inset cabinetry, refinished hardwood floors, and newer stainless steel appliances. The primary suite includes a private bathroom and walk-in closet, and the third floor serves as an office or recreation space with its own bathroom, balcony, and stunning views of downtown Sycamore. The finished basement features a new tile floor (2019), and a new sump pump was installed in 2023. The attic powder room was remodeled in 2020 with a new toilet, sink, and flooring. A new washer and dryer were added in 2025, and the home is equipped with dual furnaces (2014) and central air conditioning (2017). The spacious garage includes a loft and a brand-new roof (2024), offering excellent storage or workshop space. Outside, the backyard and side yard feature sealed patio pavers (2024) designed to prevent weed growth. A built-in bench in the back entry adds convenience as a boot warmer, and a home warranty will be included for added peace of mind. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home with front-row access to one of Sycamore's most cherished traditions-the Pumpkin Festival parade-right from your doorstep. Although the home has many recent updates it's being sold as-is.
