Description

Charm, history and beauty combine in this storybook dream home with tons of curb appeal! This home has 2 bedrooms and an adjacent studio, nursery or walk-in closet. One of Kankakee's most charming Riverview homes, this Hillsboro model Sears Modern Home is incredibly unique and one of very few to be found in the USA! This extraordinary brick home is located across from the beautiful Kankakee River and sits majestically on this high corner lot. The welcoming front porch is an ideal place to relax and view the river while greeting neighbors as they stroll by on their way to Cobb Park only a block away. The original batten front door with brass hinges is an architectural delight and sets the stage for the charm that embraces you upon entering the home. Character and quality abound from every angle as you are greeted by arched doorways, a dramatic staircase with refurbished original bannisters that open to the light filled living room complete with a lovely window seat, wood burning fireplace and original diamond shaped lead windows which overlook the river. The spacious and inviting dining room is open to the den/office which makes for cozy dinners and wonderful holiday celebrations. French doors in the dining room lead to the screened back porch which overlooks the peaceful, newly installed patio area. The attached garage is a rarity in the Riverview area and is conveniently located off the kitchen and includes a second hook up for a washer and dryer. Two large/spacious bedrooms, one with a large adjacent room that can be used as a nursery, walk in closet or studio. There is also a full basement with plenty of storage as well as a newly installed outdoor shed. This historic, elegant home has been tastefully and lovingly updated throughout with many of the original features (including all doors and decorative brass and crystal hardware) being painstakingly and stunningly refurbished. Updates abound and include fabulous refinished hardwood floors throughout, updated bathrooms, new paint, ceiling fans, baseboard heat, rubber roof and gutters. Please call to view a flyer for the extensive list of updates made on this sweet home since 2017. The owner hopes that you will appreciate the history and allure of this beautiful, historic Sears home while also enjoying the Riverview neighborhood, the Kankakee River views from almost every room, Cobb Park and its tennis courts, the proximity to the State Park hiking and bike trails, the farmers market, many local golf courses, quaint shopping districts and ability to commute to Chicago under one hour via Route 57. When you buy this home, you not only own a piece of Kankakee history but a part of America's as well. Call today for your private tour and experience the warmth and charm yourself!
