Description

Beautiful Craftsman home in the Riverview Historic District! This home features original woodwork, coffered ceilings and hardwood floors throughout. A large foyer with open staircase leads to the stunning living room with book cases, a wood burning fireplace, tons of windows and access to the front porch. The formal dining room is on the other side of the foyer and leads to the kitchen. The kitchen has a butlers pantry and lots of cabinet storage and a large window over the sink that is perfect for all your plants. Off the foyer is a bathroom with a shower. Upstairs you will find 5 bedrooms with generous closets space, hardwood floors and a shared full bath. Bedroom 5 has an enclosed porch off of it with views of the backyard and river. There is a staircase that leads to the attic that could be finished for additional living space. Off the kitchen is access to the basement where you will find the laundry area, an additional full bath, a family room and more storage. You can access the backyard from the kitchen or from the basement. The backyard features a deck, shed and gazebo with tons of flowers and plants. There is a 2 car detached garage. This property is an amazing location and within walking distance to Cobb Park and the Kankakee River. A must see! Buyers financing fell through. No fault of seller.
