Property Description
Full of timeless character and original charm, this rare 2-story Sears home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 50 years. Situated on a spacious 0.86-acre lot, the property combines vintage appeal with practical updates-and backs directly up to Somonauk Park for unbeatable access to green space and recreation. Inside, you'll find 5 bedrooms, including one on the main level, along with full bathrooms on both floors and an additional shower and toilet in the basement. Gorgeous original hardwood floors run throughout the home, with the main level floors recently refinished. Historic details remain intact, including original wood trim, door hardware, built-in cabinetry, and even a laundry chute for added convenience. The main level offers both an eat-in kitchen and a formal dining room, allowing flexibility for daily living or entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and a smaller fourth bedroom-ideal as a home office, upstairs laundry room, or future additional bath. The primary bedroom features access to a private balcony, and the massive 36' x 26' walk-up attic provides exciting potential to expand the living space. Outside, enjoy the mature trees and wide-open feel of the large lot. A standout feature is the 43' x 40' barn/garage/workshop-finished and heated, with in-floor heating in the front half and a large open loft above, perfect for storage, entertaining, or creative use. The property backs directly to Somonauk Park, which includes baseball fields, a playground, pavilion, restrooms, a blacktop walking path, pickleball courts, and a dog park-everything you need just steps away. This is a truly special opportunity to own a piece of history in a one-of-a-kind setting. Homes like this don't come up often-it hasn't been on the market in over 50 years
