Description
Limestone dug out of the I&M Canal built this original Lockport home in 1837. The location combines quiet privacy with the excitement of community, resting close enough to enjoy all that Lockport has to offer, while maintaining a secluded fenced backyard, pool, and deck. This 5 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath property provides views of the town's special events, historic architecture, and modern night-life, together with a variety of restaurants and shops teeming with historic Lockport pride! The Backyard getaway offers quiet seclusion with an inground pool, mature trees, Koi pond, landscape artistry, firepit, and wide open front lawn. The pool has a lifetime warranty and comes with the heater and cover included. The first floor displays an open concept kitchen attached to an eat-in family room. The dining room enjoys its own separate space along with the original wood-burning fireplace, which is one of 3 working fireplaces within the home. Two bedrooms and one full bath are on the first floor, so one-floor living is possible. The living room, front bedroom, entryway, and upstairs bedroom all have the original wood flooring, while the master bedroom has wood-look ceramic tile. The front bedroom can double as an office and boasts the home's second fireplace. New windows in the dining room, bathroom, and back family room were replaced with a lifetime, transferable warranty. Travel up the historic staircase to the remaining 3 bedrooms and 2nd full bath upstairs. Five window air conditioning units throughout the house keep the whole home cool and cozy. The basement has been dug down to increase the ceiling height, with concrete flooring added to the well-maintained stone walls. The laundry room is housed in the basement with a single toilet and sink. The electric has been upgraded to 220v and the plumbing updated as well, replacing all old lead piping with PVC. The basement is accessible from the interior of the home, through the attached garage, as well as through a door leading to the lower level stone patio shaded by mature trees, including a Black Walnut, Tri-leaf Beech, Rebud and one of the oldest Ghinko trees in all of Illinois! Exterior limestone was fully tuckpointed in 2024. You will not find another property like this with its combination of important upgrades and stunning history overlooking bustling downtown Lockport.
