Welcome to Sandwich Illinois. A beautiful thriving town with lots of Country atmosphere, and close enough the city that you enjoy the best of both worlds. Steeped in history and founded in 1855. We are proud to present one of the original homes in Sandwich built around 1869 by the Mosher family. And this home has been owned by the original descendants ever since. Now 156 years later they have decided it was time to sell their beloved home. Sitting on a extra large tree shaded yard, the front porch welcomes you into this stately 6 bedroom and 2 bath home. The front entry way features beautiful inlaid hardwood floors, stamped tin ceilings and walls. 9' ceilings on the main floor just add to the ambiance of the large sunny rooms, the beautiful floors, bay windows, and the antique wall light sconces. On the main floor is a very large parlor, living room, formal dining room and those are the first rooms you see. But beyond that, the 1st floor offers a vintage kitchen, pantry, 2 bedrooms and full bath. Plus the back porch off the kitchen would make a natural addition to the kitchen if and when you decide you want to update or enlarge your kitchen space. The quaint little enclosed porch off the kitchen will make a cozy reading nook on a summers evening. Upstairs, there are 4 more bedrooms, one with a sitting room off of it. Plus you have a walk up attic if you need more living space than the 4,000 sf that are on the first two floors. Also featuring a large like new deck off the back. The yard features many mature trees and shrubs. Let us not forgot the modern oversized 2 car garage and a huge concrete driveway. If you have been looking for a home steeped in history on a tree shaded street, your wait is over. And within walking distance of schools, shopping and more. This is very well built home with endless possibilities for the next owners.
