Expertly restored elegant and historic St Charles home!

819 N Fifth Ave, St Charles Illinois
3BR/1BA brick farmhouse priced at $324,900

Elegant and historic, the John & Eva England home, built in 1866, has been expertly restored.  Just steps from vibrant downtown St. Charles – shops, restaurants, the Fox River, Pottawatomie Park & Community Center, this landmark home sits on two in-town lots of almost one-half acre.  Truly one of a kind, this architectural gem features original wood floors, high ceilings, elegant interior finishes and the original clawfoot cast iron tub and corner sink.  Double-hung wood windows w/storms are framed by the original exterior shutters.  Solid wood doors with original period hardware, original tall baseboard moldings and new 5-piece crown highlight the superior craftsmanship of the era.  The bathroom is bright with natural light and Carrera marble herringbone tile floor.  The living room showcases a stunning octagonal coffered ceiling and wide, period woodwork.  The large crown molding continues into the eat-in kitchen with the original St. Charles metal cabinets atop a beautiful cork floor.  The kitchen features a built-in cutting board and an onyx & glass mosaic backsplash.  The dining room is of elegant design and includes a period solid plaster medallion and gold gilt ceiling.  The master has beautiful light from four windows, the original wide plan flooring and, like the entire home, the original plaster walls.  The outdoor living is extremely private.  The backyard is completely fenced and professionally landscaped with privacy, shade and perennial gardens and includes an upper patio/outdoor living room and a lower patio with dining and firepit areas.  The detached oversized 2-car garage, with large storage attic, has plenty of room for a workbench and storage.  The large shed would make a great workshop or garden room/potting shed.  Do not miss your opportunity to be one of the very few to own this Civil War-era landmark!
