**Charming 1902 Vintage Home on a Corner Lot - Full of Character & Comfort** Welcome to this 1902 vintage gem, nestled on a desirable corner lot and brimming with timeless charm. From the moment you step onto the welcoming front porch, you'll feel the warmth and character that radiates from every inch of this special home. Inside, you'll find original millwork, baseboards, hardwood floors, and solid wood doors that showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The home offers 3 comfortable bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and elegant French doors that open to a private rooftop deck-perfect for morning coffee or winding down beneath the mature trees and neighborhood skyline. The updated kitchen (2021) seamlessly blends modern convenience with vintage charm, featuring stainless steel appliances, a generous island with seating, and an open-concept flow into the dining room highlighted by an original bay window. Ideal for both everyday meals and entertaining guests. The large family room centers around a cozy gas fireplace and flows effortlessly into a sun-drenched sunroom-an ideal nook for curling up with a blanket, a hot drink, and a good book. Downstairs, a full basement offers ample storage, a washer and dryer, and a rough-in bathroom ready for your finishing touches. Practicality meets comfort with a mudroom entrance just off the detached 2.5-car garage-perfect for keeping the outdoors out and organization in. Step outside into your private backyard retreat, thoughtfully designed for entertainment and relaxation. Host friends and family at the built-in gas grill and bar (complete with an outdoor fridge), then gather around one of two gas-start fire pits for cozy evenings or a round of s'mores. With two raised garden beds and low-maintenance landscaping, outdoor living has never been easier or more enjoyable. Just over a mile to the NIU campus, whether you're drawn to its historic character, its cozy corners, or the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history that feels as comfortable as it is timeless.
