About this home
You'll be stunned at this architectural gem - a 3-4 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath Home nestled in an enchanting natural locale encompassing two full lots. Tucked almost unnoticed on a quiet street in the village of Malden - just down the road from historic Princeton, Il. - this location will grant you the peace and privacy you've been needing. An inviting sunroom fronts the house, an introduction to the unique character and elegance contained within. Entering the main living quarters, you'll find that a multitude of windows, high ceilings, and generously-sized rooms lend a feeling of light and airiness. Classic elements blend with contemporary comforts, creating an ideal environment for relaxation or entertainment. Living room flows into dining, which in turn flows into a lovely sitting room with windows overlooking the flower-filled back yard. Everywhere, 9 1/2-foot ceilings are accentuated by the "tin-type" tiles, carrying the feeling of infinite spaciousness throughout the entire house. The kitchen is a fascinating blend of old-world charm married to modern convenience. It boasts not just one, but Two pantries! A separate laundry room offers plenty of space and natural light. Single-level living is attainable with the large main-floor bedroom, showcasing a lovely hardwood floor and a bank of built-in wardrobe space. Step through to a magnificent walk-in closet/dressing room with floor-to-ceiling doors - truly unique! The light-filled office could be used as an additional main floor bedroom or even a separate living area. Artistic flourishes throughout the home testify to the presence of a creative - you'll be both impressed and inspired! The upper floor again boasts the high ceilings prominent in the grand estates of old. Large rooms with abundant closet space are simply luxurious. Note the full dry basement which affords both storage and work space (maybe more!). You'll see a verifiably solid foundation and smooth cement floors. Speaking to practicality, the updates of windows, new gas stove, refrigerator, kitchen cabinets, vinyl plank flooring, and new siding around the kitchen definitely add value, but most important are the new roofs on both house and garage, showcasing 50-year architectural shingles. The vast sprawl of lawn features evergreens, walnuts, and a prolific apple tree. Professional landscapers have created a picturesque haven. The grand, historic barn with full loft is a stand-out feature of this property, housing a 2-car garage, workshed, and chicken koop! A poultry pen and outdoor koop add a fun bit of quirkiness. Closing is contingent upon the seller finding suitable housing. This Home is drop-dead gorgeous and still allows room for finishing touches and enhancement shaped by your own aesthetics. Come fall in love!
