About this home
This is a pre-inspected true Victorian masterpiece defined by craftsmanship, scale, and timeless elegance. From the moment you arrive, the impressive brick exterior sets the tone for what awaits inside. Soaring 10 foot ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and extraordinary original character create a sense of grandeur rarely replicated today. Intricate plaster ceiling medallions, detailed 6" wide millwork, the original wood stairwell, and curved craftsmanship seldom seen in modern construction all speak to the artistry of the time. Every detail reflects a level of quality that just cannot be recreated. While the historic character remains beautifully intact, the sellers have made thoughtful investments to enhance comfort and livability. Custom made storm windows improve efficiency, ductwork was added to bring central air to the property, and the laundry was relocated to the main floor for everyday convenience. Electrical and plumbing systems have been updated, offering modern reliability. The kitchen and bathrooms were renovated in a way that feels cohesive and intentional, blending seamlessly with the home's original charm rather than competing with it. Situated on 2.5 city lots combined, this home offers a spacious yard to complement its impressive footprint. The detached garage includes storage space above, an attached insulated and heated workshop, and a lean to for additional covered parking. Previously operated as a Bed & Breakfast, the home has the potential to serve that purpose again, according to the City of St. Charles, offering the possibility of a unique income-producing opportunity. It is a beautifully preserved Victorian that has been respectfully updated and meticulously maintained.
