About This Property
A rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved Prairie-style
home in Kankakee's Riverview Historic District, where timeless
craftsmanship meets modern-day functionality. This impressive
3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home showcases more than a century of character
with expertly restored hardwood floors and original trim, leaded
glass accents, spacious rooms, and exceptional built-ins
throughout. Three large, deep storage benches are incorporated into
the living room, stair landing, and primary bedroom, with
additional built-in cabinetry in the dining room, upstairs hallway,
and basement. The home offers two levels of living space plus
an unfinished basement with an additional walk-in shower, commode,
sink, utility sink, and abundant storage. A previous extensive
restoration included the home's woodwork, bathroom, walls and
ceilings, front porch, custom front door, and electrical. The roof
and HVAC were replaced in 2022, with additional updates since 2023
including a smart thermostat, LeafFilter gutter guards, updated
lighting, and a portable dishwasher. Step outside into the
private English-style garden leading to the carriage house, built
in 2010. This unique structure includes a 1-car garage, office
area, expansive studio space, and its own HVAC system. The carriage
house is partially finished and offers incredible potential for a
home office, studio, hobby space, entertaining area, additional
flex space, or future customization to suit your needs. The
location is just as special. Situated near the 700 block of S
Harrison, now designated Honorary Frank Lloyd Wright Way, and close
to Kankakee's developing riverfront and Riverwalk, this home offers
a unique connection to the area's architecture, history, and
exciting future. Remarkable craftsmanship, distinctive spaces, and
an incredible Riverview setting make this truly one of Kankakee's
special properties. Must see to fully appreciate everything this
historic home has to offer!
