About This 1904 Historic House In Oregon Illinois

Take your place in history in the stunningly restored and updated 1904 Edgar & Carolyn Jones house in picturesque Oregon. Surrounded by 100+ year old trees, this Edwardian-style, 2-story home features sanded and sealed, original wood floors and refreshed woodwork, pocket doors, U-shaped bridal stairway, rear servants’ stairs, fireplaces, and columned alcoves. Since 2014, extensive updates include 50-year roofing, PEX piping, hot water heater, and painting inside and out in historic colors.

With 12 over-sized rooms totaling 3,482 square feet, walking in the front door welcomes you into a beautiful entry foyer with a gracious, open wood staircase and wood burning fireplace. Off the entry hall is a light-filled sun room with walls of windows. A beautiful formal living room with wainscoting panels, family room/library, and grand dining room flow for your family’s and friends’ use.

The large, eat-in kitchen features original, glass front wood cabinets and farm sink and stainless-steel appliances (gourmet 40″ dual­fuel 5-burner stove with 2 convection/conventional ovens, microwave, refrigerator-freezer, dishwasher) and brass chandeliers, which connects to the separate beverage center with refrigerator and outdoor deck for grilling and entertaining. The 2 full baths, each on the first and second floors, are updated.

Upstairs are 5 good-sized bedrooms – one currently used, as an office, plus another sun room with walls of windows and coffered ceiling. All appliances, 3 window A/C units, and all window treatments and blinds stay. Sip your coffee, while on the front porch’s swing of this one-of-a-kind manse. MUST SEE!
