Old House Dreamer

310 E Broadway Ave, Monmouth, IL – $210,000
5 Bed, 2 Bath, 3043 square feet. A house beyond awesome! The only thing I’d hate is to visit the house right now, I just KNOW I’d break something! There is a virtual tour with a few more pics here. This is one of Monmouth’s earliest built brick homes. “The 2nd floor is lit by Tiffany fixtures and has ornate ceilings, parquet floors, pocket doors, stained/leaded glass windows and fireplaces.” This home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Check out the street view.

204 N Main St, Ewing, IL – $31,000
3 Bed, 1.5 Bath, 1800 square feet. I was expecting a lot, judging from the exterior. Unfortunately, it was a let down. Maybe they just needed to post more pics.

570 Anthony St, Glen Ellyn, IL – $879,000
4 Bed, 3.5 Bath. Love this house! Although not fond of the light fixtures they went with, the rooms look so bright (& airy!) I did leave the pictures large, so if you want to see a bit of detail, just click on the pic.

Next to a huge church.

300 Scottswood Rd, Riverside, IL – $1.299 Million
3 Bed, 3.5 Bath, 3028 square feet. A Frank Lloyd Wright designed home. He describes this home (so the listing ad says), “So I put the best in me into this house. I feel now, looking back, that this was the best I could do in a house.” Virtual tour available. Aerial view and street view.

PS, if you are into Frank Lloyd Wright and are a Netflix subscriber, there are two documentaries about him and his houses available for instant viewing.
