A piece of rich history awaits you in the historical landmark district of Beverly. As you approach the large front porch from the sidewalk or the side front porch entry under the portico it says, "sit long and talk much". This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath frame home speaks volumes from the built-in bookcases, original "wavy glass" windows to the ornate hand carved staircase. Relax in the parlor or warm up with the wood-burning fireplace on a cool spring evening. Enjoy the sunroom with ten windows to let the sunshine stream in or watch TV in the knotty pine family room that could easily be a fourth bedroom with 2 closets. The eat-in kitchen is a 'mid-century' dream come true. This cottage style home offers tons of charm and character through-out but is in need of updates. With some paint, polish and vision you can make this your place to call home. Boiler replaced in 2020 and electric service updated to 100 amp in 2020. Wait until you see the oversized lush, landscaped backyard with perennial plants, mature trees (one walnut) and an outdoor brick fireplace. Close to the Metra and I-57. This is a great contender for a 203K loan.
