Built in 1896

This charming and gorgeous 1896 built home is situated perfectly on a large corner lot in the highly desired Historic Cathedral Area of Joliet! The green, tree-lined community contains an incredible array of homes with dozens of architectural styles. The charm begins at the welcoming front porch complete with a porch swing. This is the perfect spot to sit and watch the world go by! As you step inside the foyer you are greeted by the gleaming hardwood flooring and the fabulous original woodwork and arched doorways that one would expect in a home in the Cathedral area. Formal front parlor and the spacious living and dining room are ideal for entertaining family and friends. The huge 18x12 dining room is bright and cheery. The eat-in kitchen offers ample cabinet space and there is also a butler's pantry that leads to the formal dining room. The convenient back staircase off of the kitchen will take you up to the second level or down to the full basement. A full bath on the main level with vintage tile, dual sinks and a separate tub and shower. The second level offers a spacious, primary suite with a private bathroom with a dual sink vanity, soaker tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms on the second level along with an additional room that makes a perfect office, kid's play room, or workout room - the choice is yours. There is a walk-up attic that allows for optimal storage space or can be finished out for additional living space. The full basement is unfinished and is where the laundry area and utility sink are located - the washer & dryer stay. The boiler was replaced about 10 years ago. There is an attached 1 car garage. Such a wonderful home and a great location. Located close to I-55, I-80 and US Route 66. The Cathedral area is a quaint neighborhood full of history, art and accessibility. Plenty of shopping, dining, parks, schools and more close by - even Harrah's Casino if you fancy a roll of the dice! Schedule your showing today!
