c.1890 Affordable Illinois Home For Sale Under $50K – Quasi Time Capsule

OHU50K Notes $49,900

This c.1890 affordable Illinois home traveled all the way back to the turn of the century in the time machine but dropped the kitchen off in 1960 and the bath in 1990. That time machine sure worked well, though, for the beautiful unpainted woodwork, built-ins, hardwood floors, doors, trim and hardware. I guess the exterior and garage never read H.G. Wells, but a two-car detached garage is always a good thing.

The three bedroom, one bath home also features a formal dining room, basement, central air and heat, and public water and sewer

 I guess we really should thank Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Hallam for preserving the woodwork as well, as they lived here in the 1960s and ’70s when old home details were not much appreciated and remodeling was at its height.
