Description

New price adjustment on this magnificent home offers Buyer a tremendous opportunity for restoration and upgrades. Standing proudly on the South Bluff of Ottawa with views of the Illinois River, this stately all brick home offers the grandeur of a previous era along with a compelling warmth that embraces all who enter. Architecturally designed with original blueprints available, the home was built in 1905 for the Frank Sanders family by Sanders' Brothers Manufacturing Company. The company was locally renowned for quality carpentry and beautiful, custom millwork and this home is a fine example of their craftsmanship. Elaborate millwork and magnificent built-in features are found throughout the home. Owned only by two families from 1905 to 2021, this three story home boasts of over 3200 square feet on the first and second floors with additional finished spaces on the third floor and in the basement. A spacious, unfinished attic area on the third floor offers potential finished space. The expansive living room, family room and formal dining room flow seamlessly. A spacious eat-in kitchen and a huge enclosed front porch complete the first floor rooms. The second floor offers five spacious bedrooms with a 6' by 26' center hall. Hardwood floors are found throughout the home along with a stunning, open staircase. A natural stone fireplace with custom seating, custom built-ins and beautiful pocket doors are featured in the family room. Extensive and expansive windows brighten each room. The basement offers a second family room (with a wood burning fireplace) a finished storage area, a large laundry room, a workshop room and additional space. The home is a short (one block) walk to Allen Park at the banks of the Illinois River. The property consists of two lots with an extra lot to the west.
