About the Listing 28140 - 258186
Proudly situated on Ottawa's East Side Historic District, this timeless home combines rich character with an unbeatable location. Just steps from the Fox and Illinois Rivers, walking distance to downtown restaurants, shopping, and the new YMCA, and only a short drive to Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks with easy interstate access for commuters, this home offers the perfect blend of charm and convenience. The exterior welcomes you with its stately presence, original paver sidewalks, and a brick-lined street that sets the tone for the history within. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings on the main level and 10-foot ceilings upstairs create a grand sense of space. A gracious foyer highlights a dramatic staircase and stunning original woodwork. Flanking the foyer, the living and family rooms showcase the same exquisite craftsmanship, each anchored by a marble wood-burning fireplace and both featuring hidden bookshelves. Off the living room, the formal dining room features ornate hardwood floors, two built-ins, and dual access to the kitchen-one through a guest hallway and another via a walk-through butler's pantry lined with cabinetry for storage. The spacious kitchen includes an eating area, main-floor laundry, and direct access to a private screened porch as well as a second staircase to the upper level. A main-floor bedroom (or ideal for a study/den) features a walk-in closet and the oversized half bathroom offers flexibility, with potential to be converted into a full bathroom if desired. The home is brimming with historic details, from ornate door handles and decorative ceiling medallions to the unique front double doors that make a lasting first impression. Upstairs, you'll find four large bedrooms and a full bathroom, each space echoing the character and charm that defines this home. Loaded with historic detail, original features, and endless potential, this property is ready for its next chapter. If you've dreamed of living in a historic home within walking distance of downtown, this is the one.
