Welcome to this distinctive 3-bedroom brick Georgian-style home nestled in the sought-after Historic Cathedral area of Joliet! Rich in character and architectural charm, this home beautifully blends classic details with thoughtful updates and exceptional storage throughout. Step inside to discover gleaming hardwood floors throughout the main level, a welcoming hardwood foyer, classic oak trim, and an abundance of windows that fill the home with natural light. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace, while the separate dining room showcases an elegant, coffered ceiling and convenient access to a private office. The kitchen offers 42" maple cabinetry, Corian countertops and sink, stainless steel appliances, a butler pantry, and a charming phone desk area. A half bath is located just off the kitchen. Upstairs, the second bedroom features a delightful widow porch for enjoying a peaceful glass of wine. The main bedroom boasts a custom designed closet system to maximize storage. The main bathroom has a unique split layout with a separate powder room, and numerous additional closets throughout the home provide plenty of space to stay organized. The partially finished basement expands your living and hobby space with a family/TV area, dry bar, a dedicated workshop area, and a built-in wine cellar/bomb shelter! Yes, I said bomb shelter, -a truly unique piece of this home's history! Two one -car garages with 12' ceilings offer additional functionality and valuable attic storage. Major improvements include a roof replaced in 2020, furnace in 2022, rebuilt front and rear steps in 2022, and a water softener in 2023, along with a newer high efficiency water heater. Located near downtown Joliet, this home puts you close to the Metra station, the historic Rialto Square Theatre, concerts at the Bicentennial Park, Joliet Slammers baseball, local dining, Harrah's Casino, The College of Saint Francis, and much more. Residents can also enjoy the community spirit of the voluntary Cathedral Preservation District Association, which hosts seasonal events and activities, including concerts, wine walks, historic house walks, and neighborhood block parties. This is a rare opportunity to own a home filled with timeless architectural details, distinctive features, and historic neighborhood charm- all in a location close to the best of downtown Joliet!
