What would you do with that curved space? It’s unique! This home was built in 1890. It is located in Prophetstown, Illinois. I’m assuming that curved space was originally a covered front porch and it was enclosed at some point. The leaded glass window inside looks like exterior. I bet there are hardwood floors underneath all of the carpeting. There is a lot of natural light, french doors and a transom window. The home has a large back deck and a detached two car garage. There is a Generac generator. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,719 square feet. $145,000

Beautiful leaded 2′ square window as a feature of the open stairway and enclosed porch. There are hardwood floors underneath some of the carpet. French doors lead you from the foyer into the living room, pocket doors between living room and dining room and cove molding in the living room. The alley that was on the south side of the home has been vacated.
