Property Description
As one of the very first homes built in Zion, this residence offers a rare glimpse into the city's founding era. With its ornate detailing and master craftsmanship, you'll be stepping into one of the most distinctive historic homes on the market. This stately full-brick home has been lovingly maintained and remains largely in its original condition, while thoughtfully updated with modern features-such as upgraded electrical-so you can enjoy the best of both worlds: timeless charm and everyday comfort. Offering over 3,500 square feet of living space, the home's layout is ideal for multi-generational living, complete with a convenient mini kitchenette upstairs. Inside, you'll find original wood trim, tall ceilings, decorative moldings, and a classic fireplace that showcase the home's rich heritage. Large windows fill the rooms with natural light, enhancing the warmth and character throughout. Outside, a grand brick porch welcomes you home and highlights the intricate brickwork and decorative designs set into the facade-a true testament to early 1900s craftsmanship. The newly built backyard pergola creates the perfect setting to unwind or entertain, offering a private, vacation-like retreat just steps from your back door. Located near downtown Zion, the Metra station, and Lake Michigan's scenic shoreline, this home blends small-town charm with everyday convenience. Whether you're a lover of historic architecture, searching for a one-of-a-kind home, or envisioning an investment with timeless appeal, this early Zion landmark is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city's living history.
