Description

Back to the Future!! Incredibly, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath property manages to be simultaneously cutting-edge and charmingly Retro! A rare Lustron Home - one of only 2,000 of these Post-WWII porcelain-enameled steel houses still existing in the nation! Single-level living is a practical convenience, but it's never been so Fun. The house feels spacious and safe, with its large living areas and generously-sized bedrooms. With newer flooring and scads of natural light flowing in, it has the immediate feel of Home. The breezeway is a bit of frosting on the cake that has infinite possibilities. Wander out the back door to see a large lot, running all the way to the east, allowing loads of room for all of your out-door creations - gardening, entertaining, additional storage. The location couldn't be more perfect, starting off with simply being in historic Princeton, Il. - and then just down the street from the hospital and adjacent to Zearing Park! And yes, we have the remedy for that peeling paint issue on the exterior. Some amount of work is needed, but imagine how uniquely beautiful this gem will be! The roof alone is simply gorgeous! See property disclosures for City-mandated electrical update. Sellers are offering a $5000 buyer credit in the form of a check at closing to accommodate those fixes. Selling "as-is". Too, make sure to take a look at the "additional documents" for historical context and construction details. (Warning: at the very least you'll be fascinated, but there's a good chance of a bit of obsession . . . ) Come see this mid-century marvel prized by architecture enthusiasts and history buffs alike - and make it your own!
