Property Description

Historic charm meets modern comfort in this timeless Georgian estate in Freeport, Illinois. Built in 1920, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath brick masterpiece sits on 1.5 park-like acres surrounded by mature trees, gardens, and private outdoor spaces. With nearly 4,700 finished square feet across four levels, this home perfectly blends classic architecture and modern luxury. Step inside to a grand foyer with original woodwork, a sweeping staircase, and elegant details throughout. The spacious living room features a gas fireplace and sunroom with patio access — perfect for entertaining. A formal dining room connects to the updated kitchen with granite countertops, custom Graybil cabinetry, slate tile floors, and premium appliances. The main floor also includes a private office, half bath, and multiple walkouts to the patio and garden areas. Upstairs, the primary suite showcases a fireplace, walk-in closets, a sunroom, and a fully renovated en-suite bath. Additional bedrooms feature generous space and another beautifully updated bathroom with Italian tile, custom cabinetry, and Kohler fixtures. The third-floor attic and finished lower level offer endless versatility — with a second kitchen, family room, home gym, craft space, and abundant storage. Outside, enjoy the brick-paved patio, stone driveway, and manicured gardens with a secret trail and fern garden. Recent upgrades include energy-efficient windows and doors, dual-zone A/C, a 400-amp service, a radon mitigation system, and a well-maintained clay tile roof. A rare opportunity to own one of Freeport’s most admired historic homes — where elegance, comfort, and craftsmanship converge. 3rd floor some of the furniture may be virtually staged, no alterations or changes to the home!
