Description
No need to look further; you just found your forever home in this welcoming community of Batavia. This Italianate style home has four bedrooms, two full baths, blending well with modern elegance. The land was formerly owned by one of Batavia's earliest settlers and industrialist, John Van Nortwick. We invite you to enjoy this piece of history! Calling all B & B dreamers...this could be the place! This 2,442 square foot home was built in 1872 and includes three decorative porches for you to choose from - two facing east flanking the bay windows on S Jackson St and one facing south on Main St. As you enter through the original double front doors, your eyes are drawn upward towards the grand, sweeping staircase. Meticulous attention has been placed on this entry, after removing layers of paint to reveal the warmth of the walnut and Douglas fir staircase. A ceiling medallion showcases the updated foyer light fixture. So much natural light shines through the 7' tall windows! A team of craftsman carefully dismantled the first-floor single pane windows, preserving the old curved frames and installing energy efficient double thermo-pane glass! You'll want to gather around the new marble framed fireplace for the holidays, as well. The birch logs add a cozy country feel. New high efficiency Lennox furnace, new 200-amp electric service, new plumbing and elegant 12-inch base molding throughout the entire home! The spacious kitchen has soft close Shaker-style cabinets, complete LG stainless steel appliance package and a pass-through window to the dining area. The second floor offers a generous study or den which could be converted into an additional large bedroom. In addition, there is a playroom/ laundry room area and includes a spacious walk-in storage area. Beautiful tree-lined streets lead you to the Batavia Riverwalk, the Farmer's Market, the Fox River and boutique shops. Don't miss the opportunity to become the next steward of this historic treasure.
