Tucked away in Kankakee's historic Riverview district, this 1916 home keeps the charm of an older home with original hardwood floors (refinished to their original glory), original thick board trim throughout, leaded glass windows and stained glass insets, and unique built-ins. Step into the screened-in front porch and you're welcomed by a custom made swing. It was made for this home and will remain with the home so the new homeowners can share memories there, too. Inside the large glass inset door and you're into the expansive living room! You'll see one of two of the home's fireplaces, the original hardwood floors, and one of the home's THREE built-in features - this one is a built-in window bench. Walk into the large dining room to check out another large built-in with a china cabinet flanked along the top with lead glass windows. The kitchen has upgraded appliances which all remain. Head upstairs and check out the stained glass insets in the landing windows then the whole second floor has brand new carpeting. The master bedroom has another built in window bench along a bank of windows. Don't miss the laundry chute in the hallway near the bathroom and the claw foot tub in the bathroom! Head upstairs to the third level for a fun office space, 4th bedroom, family/recreational room, playroom, craft room - your choice! Make it your own unique space! The full basement adds another full bathroom space, another bedroom option, and large family/rec room space. Outside the fully fenced backyard is the 3-car detached garage. Protect your cars in the winter and have extra room to store your stuff. Don't blink and miss this historic charmer!
