428 Washington Pl.

MOTIVATED SELLER! Job transfer! Big ole farmhouse in the heart of downtown Sycamore!! 4 beds and 2.5 baths! Back in 1897, this home was your original "custom build." It was built by hard work and men's hands and not a backhoe. There are so many things to adore about this home. Walk into a country front porch with windows to swing open and a wooded ceiling and warm stucco walls. Then enter your living room. It's nostalgic with its narrow hardwood slatted floor, arched doorway and big picture window along with an original richly wooded staircase. Heading upstairs, you'll find spacious bedrooms and an updated full bath. The pull-down attic is quite usable and characteristic of the time period! Heading back downstairs, you'll enjoy a large separate dining room and a kitchen with plenty of room to prepare your meals. Then make your way into the den with its gas fireplace and head out back to your large and airy screened-in porch (17 x 9) and sit down for a glass of sweet tea. Enjoy looking over your manicured backyard! It boasts a firepit and majestic, leafy trees plus a spacious 3 car garage with a woodstove to keep you warm in the cooler weather. Other amenities of this beautiful home include: a useable full basement with plenty of storage space, Roof (2020), Water heater (2017), Dishwasher (2021), Disposal (2021), Refrigerator (2016), Washer/Dryer (2016), HVAC (2017) (Bathroom updates (2021). With Sycamore schools, a walkable distance to pumpkin fest and a sticker price under 250k, this home REALLY has it all!!! Welcome to your country home right downtown!!
