Description
Set on a large corner lot deep in the Historic Riverview District, this Stately American Foursquare is surrounded by beautiful Mature Oaks and located just steps from Cobb Park and the Kankakee River. Rich in character and local history, this distinguished residence was the longtime family home of former Illinois Governor George H. Ryan. A welcoming front porch leads into a gracious entry foyer, where the home's timeless character immediately shines. The family room showcases beautiful stained glass windows, a brick fireplace, and custom built-in shelving, creating a warm and elegant gathering space. The expansive living and dining rooms are richly appointed with large windows, additional stained glass details, and original pocket doors that separate the two spaces. The kitchen offers excellent functionality with a spacious butler's pantry pass-through to the dining room, an additional walk-in pantry, and a convenient rear staircase leading to the second floor. A grand front staircase leads up to an open gallery landing, four bedrooms, and access to two covered balconies that provide inviting spaces to relax while overlooking the mature trees and surrounding historic neighborhood. Walk up to the finished attic that provides the option for a fifth bedroom, guest space, or flex room. The finished basement expands the living and entertaining space with a full wet bar and lounge. This is a rare opportunity to own a landmark home in one of the area's most admired historic neighborhoods.
