Description

This seller is not ready to leave this wonderful home but her relocation is your opportunity! Welcome to a truly special farmhouse in the heart of downtown Oswego, set on a rare double lot with a historic barn. This one-of-a-kind property blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and a warm, inviting feel you simply won't find in most older homes. Originally renovated in 2015 and recently refreshed, the home now features additional upgrades including a new fence, updated roofing, a radon mitigation system, and a newer refrigerator-making it both charming and move-in ready. Every space has been carefully enhanced to preserve its historic appeal while offering modern comfort. Step inside and you'll be greeted by an antique spindled staircase with original newel posts, hickory hardwood floors, and beautifully finished shiplap walls. The main level flows effortlessly into a stunning kitchen anchored by a 46 x 60 antique island with a custom marble top and seating. Enjoy 42 cabinets with pull-out drawers, select glass fronts, a farmhouse sink, subway tile backsplash, and a barn door leading to the den/office/flex room. A skylight fills the adjacent den and laundry area with natural light. The main bath showcases a charming antique tub that has been powder-coated for a fresh look, paired with a unique vessel sink and vintage mirror. The spacious primary suite offers a vaulted ceiling, shiplap detail, a large closet with triple barn doors, and an adjoining bath with updated fixtures and windows. Outside, relax on the large wraparound porch or unwind on the deck just off the kitchen and dining area. The barn provides endless possibilities for storage (conveyed as-is), hobbies, or workshop space, and parking is conveniently located off the alley or within the barn. Location & value are everything, and this home delivers. Enjoy unbeatable walkability to Oswego's vibrant downtown, where you'll find local restaurants, antique shops, a charming barbershop, flower shop, and a fantastic library along Waubonsee Creek. The nearby bike path connects you to parks, the river, and neighboring communities. Situated within highly sought-after Oswego School District 308, this property is ideal for buyers looking to combine lifestyle, convenience, and community. Hurry out to see this one soon!
