Description

The historic home at 2101 Caton Road is now available for sale. Completed in the late 1850's, the home was built as a grand mansion for the heroic Civil War General, W.H.L. Wallace and his wife. It was built with magnificent quality of structure and stunning, elaborate finishes. History of General Wallace and this historic home are available for review and some information and historic photos can be found in "Documents". The home has for many years been a single family dwelling. (It could very easily be converted into two very spacious duplex units.) As a single family home it offers 4800 square feet of living space on two floors with a full, unfinished walk-up 3rd story floored attic and a useable, unfinished basement. It features 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and very spacious living areas. There are 3 lots with a total of 0.86 acres (see attached plat) Maintenance and improvements have been made over the years. A beautiful inground pool was installed in 2013 and the pump was replaced this season. The back deck was built in 2014. It is a Trek deck with a Pergola roof. The roof was replaced in 2013. It is a metal roof with an asphalt coating and has a 50 warranty. Cosmetic improvements include some new hardwood floors and carpet, fresh paint, updated bathrooms and 200 amp breaker box. The home has two hot water boiler systems. Water is supplied by the City of Ottawa through the Fields Hill Association. Current taxes reflect an assessed value over $360,000 (including all 3 lots) and should be adjusted upon sale.

    "Need a vehicle to access most areas of Ottawa. Walking is an option, due to many sidewalks. Ottawa is limited because of only one bridge crossing the Illinois River. The Northeast side of town (where the High School located) is also limited because of only 2 ways in and out. Currently it has only 1 way due to construction. "

    "Sometimes there’s a festival or an event that blocks off roads and sometimes you don’t know when they’re happening so it’s a major inconvenience when you try to get to work and there’s a lot of traffic and no one moving. "

    "There’s a lot of other dogs so if your dog doesn’t like other dogs just be careful. Everyone picks up after there animals pretty well and most of the dogs are nice. A lot of them end up being aggressive with your dog but other than that it’s a lovely place for your dog. "

    "Location cannot be beat. Lovely area filled with unique styles of homes. Not a cookie-cutter development. Quiet, peaceful and friendly. Great mix of people of all ages. Well maintained homes make the North side a sought after location. Believe it or not, there are people who actually did not know this area of Ottawa exists. Close enough to the downtown area if you choose to take a nice walk to the riverfront. Good caring neighbors. Cannot emphasize enough how nice and tranquil it is in this area. Great School District, close to all churches and Ottawa Regional Hospital and Medical Center. Definately a lovely place to live. "
