Bring your fairy tales to life in this Sycamore gem. The home unfolds with a charming parlor/sitting room flowing into the living room, showcasing original baseboards and windows, and then through pocket doors to the formal dining room. The well-appointed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, luxurious tile, updated cabinet fronts on original frames, and wainscoting crafted from reclaimed wood from the historic Sycamore Courthouse Hanger-one of the many unique touches connecting this home to Sycamore's rich past. Discover original 1900s leaded glass and gleaming hardwood floors on the first level, transitioning to original maple flooring upstairs.
