8214 S Main St, Dixon, IL 61021

A True Grand Detour Heirloom, this home has been lovingly treasured and maintained by its current owners since 2006. The two-story home is charming both in and out, and the corner lot spotlights the style and design of this home with its beautiful perennial gardens, garage with covered patio area, and screen porch. The garage boasts plenty of space for two vehicles plus stairs to bonus room/space. As you enter the home you will be welcomed into a living room centered around a woodburning fireplace, a good-sized kitchen, and a light and bright eating area, in addition to the more formal dining area. This area is combined with an additional living area. You will also find another sitting area that would be the perfect room for your library, music room, or possibly a main floor bedroom as these owners had considered doing, starting with their newly completed main floor bath, with a walk-in shower and double vanity. The main floor also features a half bath and a must-have main-floor laundry. Upstairs you will find three additional bedrooms a full bath, and a great storage space. The basement features an additional and very usable room for hobbies, entertaining, or storage. The screened porch off the living area will certainly become your favorite seasonal room where you can easily marvel at the large corner lot and enjoy all four seasons of this perennial-filled garden and mature trees. This home is also complimented by beautiful hardwood floors, heirloom doors, and hardware. This home has undergone significant updates and improvements that include central air, wiring plumbing, garage rebuilding, hardscaping walkways, a covered patio, cedar siding, the addition of plate rails, many windows, and as mentioned, the just-completed (brand new) main floor bathroom. This is a true treasure found in the heart of Grand Detour with its abundance of history in this area including Orson Wells, Ronald Reagon, and the John Deere Home. Grand Detour is appropriately named after the "grand turn" in the beautiful Rock River. Grand Detour is located between Dixon and Oregon, IL within a two-hour drive of downtown Chicago.
