106 E Boulevard St., Marion, IL 62959

This turn of the century Marion home sits one house east of Historic Market Street. You can feel the history in this home from the minute you open the front door form the covered porch that has probably heard a hundred tails. Can you imagine sitting on your porch as the people filed by going to watch the hanging of Charlie Berger in 1928? This owner has taken care to be sure the history was preserved by keeping the original wood floors and restoring them beautifully, ensuring the antique light fixtures were left in place for all to enjoy, as well as the window seat in the living room and coffered wood ceilings that truly lend to the architecture and craftmanship. But, every home needs updating after over a hundred years, so the vinyl siding, roof, replacement windows and central heat and air were added to give comfort the original owners surely didn't have. The granite counters and updated kitchen cabinetry makes for modern day appeal that helps bring this home into the 21st century. This could be a 3 or 4 bedroom home depending on your needs. The backyard of this home has an adorable arbor with swing sitting on a brick patio with lots of shade and perennial flowers and shrubbery. Call today for your private showing of this beautiful home.
