If you are someone who gets excited about natural woodwork and historic details, this three-story home in Mount Pulaski is a dream come true. Built in 1904, it stands proudly on a corner lot and looks like something out of a classic movie. The first thing you see when you walk in is a beautiful foyer with a striking open staircase that just begs for holiday decorations. The main floor is full of those “old house” touches we all love, like pocket doors that slide shut and transom windows above the doors to let the air flow. The living room has rustic hardwood floors that feel solid under your feet, and the family room features a corner wood-burning fireplace to keep you warm on snowy Illinois nights.
While the house has plenty of history, the kitchen has a very modern surprise: heated floors! There is nothing better than stepping onto a warm floor while you make your morning coffee. This room is a great place to gather because it has a large center island and a breakfast bar. There is also a walk-in pantry to keep all your supplies tucked away. The formal dining room is right next door and features a charming built-in cabinet. It is the perfect spot to display your favorite dishes or old books. Between the high ceilings and the warm wood, the whole main floor feels cozy yet grand at the same time.
This home is surprisingly large with five bedrooms spread out over the upper floors. On the second floor, you’ll find three bedrooms with fresh paint and new carpet. The main bathroom here is a real treat—it has a classic clawfoot tub for long soaks and a separate tiled walk-in shower. They even put the laundry room on this floor to save you from carrying baskets up and down the stairs. The third floor has two more bedrooms and a quiet den that would make a perfect home office. If you have a big family or just need a lot of space for hobbies, this house has a spot for everything. There is even a large, clean basement for storage or a workshop.
The outside of the house is just as special. There is a massive wrap-around porch with unique indirect lighting that looks magical at night. In the back, there is a deck made of composite material that won’t rot or splinter. The owners even installed an automatic watering system for the landscaping, so your flowers will always look their best without any extra work! Best of all, the big stuff is taken care of. The boiler was replaced in 2025, and there are two central air units to keep you cool in the summer. It’s the perfect mix of 1904 character and 2026 comfort.
