Some homes are measured in square feet. Others are measured in stories. Built in the 1880s, this gorgeous three-story brick Colonial Revival has stood watch over generations of life in our community. Families have gathered around its tables, climbed its staircases, celebrated milestones within its walls, and added their own chapters to a story that began nearly 140 years ago. Now, this beautifully cared-for home is ready for its next one. With approximately 3,200 square feet of living space, five bedrooms and four baths, there is room here to truly spread out. And we mean room. The main level offers a living room, formal dining room, library, kitchen, and family room, creating wonderful spaces for everything from quiet evenings with a book to holiday dinners with every chair around the table filled. Whether you love to entertain, need space for a busy household, or have always dreamed of an old home with rooms that actually have their own personalities, this one delivers. Throughout the home, the past and present mingle in all the right ways. Stunning hardwood floors stretch beneath your feet, historic windows retain their beautiful vintage glass, and original architectural details and moldings are joined by a thoughtfully incorporated reclaimed staircase (second to third floor) that feels right at home here. These are the kinds of details that give an older home its soul, the slight variations and craftsmanship that simply can't be ordered from a catalog or recreated in new construction. A gas fireplace adds another beautiful focal point, though it has not been used by the current sellers. Classic radiator heat keeps the home warm through Illinois winters, while window A/C units provide cooling in the warmer months and, according to the sellers, do the job surprisingly well. The home has been lovingly cared for over the years, with recent improvements that include filling in an abandoned well in the basement and adding fencing around the large corner lot. Outside, the property offers plenty of breathing room while keeping upkeep manageable with attractive, low-maintenance landscaping. There's no garage, but a carport provides covered parking. And then there is simply the feeling of the place. Sunlight filtering through old glass. Hardwood floors that replaced a slate...situation (we have this story and more to share with you). Staircases and moldings with craftsmanship and character. Rooms large enough to fill with family and friends, yet cozy enough to find a favorite corner and make it entirely your own. An old house isn't for someone looking for everything to be brand new and perfectly uniform. It's for someone who sees beauty in craftsmanship, appreciates the character that comes with age, and loves the idea of becoming part of a home's long history rather than being the very first chapter. For nearly 140 years, this remarkable brick home has been gathering stories. Maybe it's time for yours.

Welcome to this stunning new construction home featuring 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms with beautiful modern finishes throughout. The open-concept design seamlessly connects the living room, kitchen, and dining area, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. A large front entry makes a great first impression, complemented by elegant wrought-iron stair railings, and modern lighting. The upper level offers convenient laundry access, while the fully finished basement provides an additional bedroom with egress and plenty of flexible living space. The home also features an attached 2-car garage, attractive stone-front exterior, and a back patio overlooking the large lot. Situated on a desirable cul-de-sac in a highly sought-after neighborhood, this home offers the modern style and location you've been waiting for.
Nestled among the stately historic homes of Greenville's beloved Piety Hill neighborhood, this remarkable 3-bedroom, 2-bath Victorian wears its age beautifully. It's the kind of house that makes you slow down as you step through the front door, wondering about everyone who has admired that staircase before you. And what a staircase it is: gloriously unpainted, the original woodwork is enough to stop you in your tracks. Soaring ceilings make every room feel grand, while enormous working pocket doors remind you that craftsmanship once came standard. Original moldings frame nearly every room, and the elaborate decorative inlaid hardwood floor, originally ordered through the Sears catalog, is a conversation piece all its own. The stunning fireplace is practically begging to become the centerpiece of your holiday decorating. (The current owner does recommend having it inspected, and possibly repaired, before enjoying a roaring fire.) Then there's the turret. Rising two stories and wrapped in beautiful rounded windows, it adds just the right touch of storybook charm. Whether it becomes your reading nook, home office, or favorite place to watch a summer thunderstorm roll through town, it's impossible not to fall a little in love. The home has been thoughtfully updated where it matters most. Modern bathrooms and a practical, functional kitchen blend seamlessly with the original architectural details, creating a home that honors its history without asking you to live in the past. And unlike many historic homes, storage isn't an afterthought. The primary bedroom closet is downright enormous, and the full basement gives you plenty of room for keepsakes, seasonal décor, and whatever else life accumulates along the way. While the floor plan isn't the wide-open concept of a new build, the rooms are surprisingly generous, offering nearly 3,200 square feet of distinctive living space. Above the second-floor bedrooms, a spacious unfinished attic is just waiting for its next chapter. Library, hobby studio, family room, guest retreat...or simply incredible storage. The choice is yours. Outside, the welcoming front porch practically begs for porch swings, iced tea, and conversations that last longer than planned. The backyard is charming and manageable, while the generous front yard provides plenty of room for flowers, landscaping, and a little gardening without demanding every spare summer weekend. Piety Hill has long been one of Greenville's most treasured neighborhoods, known for its remarkable collection of historic homes and local lore that includes whispers of Underground Railroad connections. Whether those stories prove fact or folklore, there's no denying this neighborhood carries a sense of history that's difficult to replicate. If you've been waiting for a home with character, craftsmanship, and just the right amount of delightful eccentricity, this quirky old broad is ready to charm her next owner. Some homes ask you to picture your furniture inside. This one asks you to imagine your place in a story that's been unfolding for well over a century.
