You'll immediately fall in love with this idyllic 2.25-acre country estate! Located within easy reach of both LaSalle-Peru and Princeton, this five-bedroom, 3-bath Home practically oozes historic grandeur. And History there is aplenty! A one-family home for generations, it witnessed a major remodel which transformed and modernized the house in 1988. The present homeowner has added even more value with upgrades from furnace to floors to bathrooms (see attached list of additional information). What a perfect layout! A large kitchen boasting an impressive center island gives way to a grand formal dining room. From there, discover the myriad array of spacious rooms and find stunning millwork, trey ceiling, unique transoms, a full butler's pantry with pass-through window, and a luxurious clawfoot tub! A main-floor bedroom with full bath could easily be used as an in-law suite! Nine and ten-foot ceilings make you feel like you're in a palace, and the extravagant amount of living space only confirms that. Not a single small bedroom to be found. Take note of the sunroom upstairs, as well as the 2nd staircase! You'll be entranced with the views in every direction - a different palette of colors each Season! (and exteriorly, a series of porches that allow you to admire the vista from every angle!) Step outside - the beautiful acreage allows for any project that may come to mind - including a pasture for horses, goats, chickens . . . or perhaps a dirt-bike course!! You also have a full, dry basement, completely useable for an abundance of storage, or a workshop. Grain bins & building are NOT included in this property, but there is a possibility that you could arrange for use of the barn. Property being sold as-is. Come take a look at this unique Home - so many practical updates, but there's enough work left to do to give you the satisfaction of making it truly Your Own. Create your private retreat in this solid, elegant Home - come fall in love!
