Description

Absolute GEM right in the heart of Joliet's coveted Cathedral Area. This pristine Victorian has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated while preserving its historical 1908 character. A covered front porch with a swing adorns the front of this 3-story (plus basement), 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home and overlooks a tree lined street. Inside, beautiful quartersawn hardwood oak floors are featured throughout the home along with 5-panel doors. A leaded glass window and room-dividing columns greets you in the foyer along with fine woodwork on the staircase and that repeats throughout the home. In the dining room, French doors and the kitchen swing door highlight the room. The big bay window floods the room with natural sunlight. The kitchen includes all your desired modern amenities with granite countertops, an island breakfast bar, beautiful wood cabinets and big pantry. The updated half bath is thoughtfully tucked away off the rear entrance which flows perfectly to the back covered porch and white picket fenced backyard with tree swing. The second story features all the bedrooms, including a surprisingly spacious primary bedroom with rare walk-in closet and sitting area. Full bath on this level is big, updated, and features a built-in linen closet. A walk up to the third story reveals a bonus room large enough for a multitude of uses, with custom beds, large closet, and original exposed brick. The finished, dry basement of this home is surprisingly bright, cozy, and inviting and features an updated full bathroom, big laundry room, and ample storage room. The 2 1/2 car garage has all the room you could need for two cars plus storage. This is a true dollhouse in a fabulous neighborhood close to public and private schools, churches, and many other amenities. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE VIRTUAL TOUR!
