Bring your fairy tales to life in this Sycamore gem. The home unfolds with a charming parlor/sitting room flowing into the living room, showcasing original baseboards and windows, and then through pocket doors to the formal dining room. The well-appointed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, luxurious tile, updated cabinet fronts on original frames, and wainscoting crafted from reclaimed wood from the historic Sycamore Courthouse Hanger-one of the many unique touches connecting this home to Sycamore's rich past. Discover original 1900s leaded glass and gleaming hardwood floors on the first level, transitioning to original maple flooring upstairs. Display your literary passion on the built-in bookshelves, and never worry about storage space with a full basement and attic. Even the little ones have a hideout under the stairs! Convenience is key with a remodeled first-floor 3/4 bath (ceramic floor) and an updated second-floor full bath boasting a double vanity (bubble jetted tub sold "as is"). A second staircase off the kitchen leads to the upper level, while another ascends to the unfinished attic, previously plumbed for a half bath. The upstairs laundry room offers the potential for a fifth bedroom. Modern comforts include 200 Amp service, newer basement plumbing and water service, HVAC replaced in2024. The impressive 2.5 car garage, built in 2010, features heated floors and a substantial 13 x 30 loft-a fantastic recreation space or "man/woman cave," complete with a workbench and included cabinets, and heated by natural gas. Perched above the heated, oversized 2-car garage is a full-size loft, made to keep secrets steamier than anything on booktok (window AC units included with purchase). The backyard is partially fenced, while the serene front porch offers a peaceful retreat. New dishwasher is on order. The second-floor washer and dryer can be moved to the basement before move-in upon request.
