Nestled in the heart of downtown Plainfield, this stunning historic landmark home was built in 1898 by a Civil War veteran. Meticulously maintained, this solidly built late Queen Anne home has been designated a historical landmark by the Village of Plainfield. Step through the front door into a breathtaking sweeping foyer, setting the tone for the character and charm throughout. Recently repainted, the home boasts hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and expansive picture windows that flood the space with natural light. Gorgeous French doors, original wood trim, and solid Southern heart pine doors enhance the timeless beauty of this home. The spacious living room features soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural sunlight. Through another set of French doors, you'll find the formal dining room, complete with a charming bay window. Off the dining room, a first-floor bedroom offers a large cedar closet and convenient access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The country-style kitchen is brimming with character, featuring ample space for a breakfast nook and plenty of charming nooks and crannies. Upstairs, the hallway includes a cozy alcove, leading to a large bedroom with a walk-in cedar closet. The primary bedroom is a bright retreat with a stunning bay window. At the end of the hall, the fourth bedroom offers built-in drawers, abundant closet space, and extra storage. A spacious loft area provides a versatile shared space for the three upstairs bedrooms. And a second bath completes the upstairs level. Go down into the unfinished basement and you'll find that is offers ample potential, featuring a newer washer and dryer, a cast iron sink, and plenty of space to be finished to your liking. Additional features and updates include a newer brick paver driveway (recently installed), entire home repainted (January 2025), new hot water tank (2025), furnace (2017) and air conditioner (2020). Roof is 2010. Hardwood floors can be easily and affordably refinished to restore their original beauty. With just a few cosmetic updates, this historic gem will truly shine! Located just steps from downtown Plainfield's charming shops and restaurants and within the desirable Plainfield school district, including Plainfield Central High School...this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in an unbeatable location.
