Rich in history and full of charm, this extraordinary property in the heart of the Illinois Valley is unlike anything else on the market. Built in the late 1800s as a boys' home and thoughtfully remodeled into a funeral home in the 1920s, the property has since been used as both a single-family residence and a multi-family property. Its historic details, spacious layout, and modern updates create a rare opportunity for homeowners, investors, or anyone looking to bring new life to a truly unique piece of local history.

Natural wood floors run throughout the home, adding warmth and character. Multiple living spaces include a large great room, a family room with a cozy gas fireplace, and a formal dining room ideal for entertaining.

Large windows fill the home with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout. The third level features a full walk-up attic with incredible storage potential-perfect for future expansion, hobby space, or simply extra room for seasonal items. A partially finished basement adds even more living space, complete with a bar and game room area, making it a fantastic spot for entertaining or relaxation. Adding to its uniqueness, the property includes a working elevator that services all floors, making accessibility a true benefit rarely found in homes of this era. The exterior is just as functional as the interior, featuring a 2.5-car garage with openers, a convenient pull-through carport, and a nicely sized yard for outdoor enjoyment.
