Property Description

Absolutely Amazing home with touches of some wonderful history (1910) throughout. As you pull up you'll notice the Horse hitching post and platform to easily exit off the horse and carriage. Old world brick paver walkway leads to the covered front porch and around the side to the second entrance. As you enter the home, you are greeted by an open foyer and rich custom oak staircase. This home has newer siding and roof, many preserved windows where you can still see the ripples in the glass along with some beautiful stained glass windows. Home has been upgraded to 100 amp circuit breakers, Forced air high efficiency furnace, central air conditioner and an updated kitchen with custom craftsman oak cabinets. Original Hardwood floors on the main level and upstairs that were protected and preserved hiding under carpet for many years. The 9' ceilings on the first floor are magnificent along with the custom pillars, woodworking and extra large trim throughout. As you go through the house you will notice the original door handles, hinges, light switches and gas light wall fixtures from the early 1900's. A large addition was added around 1969 which opened up the living spaces and turned this home into one of the larger homes in the downtown area. (Because the addition, the home does not have historic landmark status) The large main level family room has barnwood wainscot and a full brick woodburning fireplace. There are 3 Bedrooms upstairs plus one room attached to the Main suite that could be a Den, Nursery, 4th Bedroom or Craft room. 2 Bathrooms upstairs, 1 on the main level and another in the finished basement. The Full basement also has a large entertainment room with Wood burning stove and potential wine cellar, 2 more rooms that have closets and can be bedrooms that share a bathroom and a utility room with washer, dryer and utility sink. The second staircase from basement to kitchen has been closed off but stairs remain in place if you wanted to convert back but you'd have to relocate or eliminate the kitchen pantry. Nice exterior deck with access from the family room or from the attached 2.5 car garage which is great for entertaining or quiet relaxing. Fence can be opened up to give access to the large side yard as well. An added plus is the garage is heated and has a staircase going up to a large workshop that has a door into the Main suite. If a workshop isn't your thing, that area could make quite the main suite closet or ?? This home has so much room and endless possibilities to make subtle changes and turn it into your own. Just a street away from Lockport street and the newly renovated Village Green park. Very close to Schools, Community center and Gregory Bott park. Walk around and enjoy the shops, cafes, restaurants, car shows, parades, carnivals, firework shows etc... Friends and family will love coming to visit with so much going on and the locations convenient access to downtown Plainfield. Quick access to I-55, I-80, Rte 59 make it convenient getting anywhere you want to go as well. Come take a look before its gone. This home is being sold As Is
