Built in 1837, this remarkable corner-lot residence is one of St. Charles' true historic treasures-once welcoming former First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln, who visited to meet with noted spiritualist medium Caroline Howard. The home later served as a discreet Prohibition-era speakeasy and has played a meaningful role in the rich history of St. Charles and the surrounding area. This is a rare opportunity to own a tangible piece of Illinois history without sacrificing modern comfort. The first floor features an expansive living room anchored by a charming bay window and original wood floors, creating a warm, timeless ambiance. An elegant dining room with beautiful French doors flows seamlessly into the galley kitchen, where you'll enjoy brand-new quartz countertops and sink, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a cozy eating area. From the kitchen, step out to the wooded deck and fenced backyard-perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet relaxation. A well-appointed full bath and a comfortable first-floor primary bedroom complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find two inviting secondary bedrooms, ideal for family, guests, or flexible use. Additional updates include new gutters and a new roof on the garage this year, offering peace of mind to complement the home's character and charm. Located within walking distance of vibrant downtown St. Charles, this home places you close to the Fox River, historic streets, acclaimed restaurants, unique shops, and lively day-and-night attractions. With its unparalleled blend of historic significance, architectural character, and thoughtful updates, this is more than a home-it's a living chapter of St. Charles history.
