Description
Looking for a special home in a WALK-TO-DOWNTOWN LOCATION in a GREAT SCHOOL DISTRICT? 124 N. Batavia Avenue in Batavia, IL is situated on the corner of LOCATION & OPPORTUNITY for the right buyer! Does this 1895 American Foursquare need some TLC? Yes! Is it a rare opportunity to buy "on the boulevard" where you are literally one block from the Fox River, the Batavia pond, the Batavia train depot museum, restaurants, shopping, ice skating, paddleboarding, festivals, live music...ABSOLUTELY! This home sits on a double lot (two PINs) and has a large backyard with water views! Enjoy an unbeatable work-at-home layout: a private side entrance via charming sidewalk into what could be a small waiting room with easy access to a 1/2 bath (currently being remodeled) and a LARGE main level, private office! Sooooo perfect for an attorney, social worker, therapist, realtor, teacher...Could the office be something else? OF COURSE! Library, den, studio, family room or a MAIN FLOOR BEDROOM! Wait until you see the grand, main floor staircase. My seller says she bought the house the minute she saw the staircase; indeed she was married in this house and swept down these very stairs in her wedding gown! The upstairs layout is so charming, wrapping around the staircase in a horseshoe. There are three bedrooms PLUS a cool open area that could be a reading/study nook! One spacious full bath. The primary bedroom has a walk in closet and stairs up to a large attic that could be finished. From the seating bench at the top of the stairs you can look out of the ENORMOUS window at the backyard, the Fox River and the Batavia Train Museum! The HARDWOOD floors are original and beautiful (and could use a refinish). There are multiple deferred maintenance items to be addressed. My senior seller will be offering the home 'as is'. The home needs some replacement appliances (washer/dryer, refrigerator and cooktop). Consider a conventional renovation mortgage, an FHA 203K renovation mortgage or a perhaps a VA renovation mortgage to finance renovation costs as part of your loan!
