About this home
Single Family
In the heart of Sycamore! This versatile property is ideal for an Attorney's office, Insurance Agency, Optical, Antique shop, Seamstress, or jewelry shop. The main building showcases timeless character with beautiful woodwork, leaded glass, hardwood floors, and some original light fixtures. Enter through the inviting front porch into a spacious living room with an open staircase, a formal dining room, and an eat-in kitchen with a separate butler's pantry. A full bath completes the main floor. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms-one with access to a flat roof balcony overlooking the backyard-a second full bath, and a walk-up attic. A detached one-car garage provides additional parking or storage. There's also a second building on the property, perfect for use as a seasonal cottage with a covered patio. Zoning Note: The property is zoned commercial and is considered a legal non-conforming use. It may be rented or occupied as a residential home; however, if the main structure were ever lost (e.g., fire), it could not be rebuilt as a single-family residence. This unique opportunity is being sold AS-IS. Please USE CAUTION if you go out onto rooftop deck!
