338 1st St, Batavia, IL 60510

Welcome to your forever home in the heart of downtown Batavia! This beautifully updated 1850s farmhouse sits on an oversized lot just steps from the Fox River, the library, local restaurants, and Batavia's beloved summer farmer's market. With 5 bedrooms, 2.1 baths, and a flexible layout, there's space for everyone to spread out-and come together. The heart of the home is the cozy family room, featuring a stone hearth fireplace that invites you to curl up and relax. A refreshed kitchen is adjacent to charming living and sitting areas, and the convenient mudroom with built-in cubbies keeps backpacks and boots in check. Upstairs, the primary suite and fifth bedroom can be closed off to create a private retreat with space for a nursery, home office, or dressing room. The backyard is a dream for kids and gatherings-with a treehouse, gazebo, and plenty of room to play. Two staircases, two basement entries, and thoughtful updates throughout add both charm and function. Commuters will love the easy access to I-88 and being just a 5-minute drive to the Geneva Metra station. Only 1 mile to Batavia High School and 1.5 miles to Alice Gustafson Elementary-this one checks all the boxes for growing families looking for space, community, and timeless character.
