Description
A PIECE OF GALESBURG HISTORY - WITH CHARACTER TO SPARE! Claim your own piece of local history! Built in 1912, this recently renovated 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath American Foursquare home features Craftsman touches, rich original woodwork, and beautiful stained-glass windows. Once owned by generations of Galesburg's well-known Pritchard family, this distinctive home is ready to begin a new chapter with its next owner. (Bragging rights included!) RECENT UPDATES & IMPROVEMENTS Recent improvements include new window treatments; marbled luxury vinyl flooring in the kitchen, laundry area, and bathrooms; and new carpeting throughout the remaining upper- and lower-level living areas and stairways. The upstairs bathroom has been refreshed with new bath and electrical fixtures and vinyl wall paneling. Kitchen updates include a new gas range and refrigerator, gas and plumbing improvements, a stainless-steel sink, a new countertop with custom butcher-block extension, and freshly painted cabinets. The basement recreation room features freshly painted concrete flooring covered by removable foam-rubber tiles, offering flexibility for a variety of uses. OUTDOOR APPEAL Conveniently located, this house has plenty of curb appeal, while the side entrance sports a new decorative stoop welcoming you home from your outings. Behind the detached one-car garage (with room for two additional vehicles adjacent to it), enjoy a large, green backyard with a spacious lawn and a gorgeous towering shade tree along the back edge of the property-a lovely setting for outdoor games, gardening, relaxing, or entertaining. The generous shaded front porch offers another inviting place to enjoy the outdoors. GETTING AROUND Cozy character meets stately uniqueness in this historic home that feels sheltered on a quiet street on the edge of town, yet is walkable to grocery shopping and fast food establishments and has convenient access to the interstate as well as Galesburg's public transportation system, with nearby fixed-route bus stops providing connections to downtown, shopping, eateries, medical facilities, and other destinations throughout the city. Galesburg also offers Handivan Paratransit for curb-to-curb transportation for eligible individuals with disabilities, Amtrak passenger rail service from downtown, as well as Burlington Trailways intercity bus service from the Amtrak station.
