***MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED***SELLER HAS ASKED FOR HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS DUE BY 5PM, SATURDAY 7/5/25*** Here is your chance to own your very own castle on the hill in Illinois! The landmark Montgomery castle sits upon 2.3 acres of land and offers over 5,000 square feet of living space. Transformed from a traditional two-story farmhouse, this home was meticulously crafted and has a history dating back to 1899. The main level features an open and spacious family room, centered by the beautiful white marble fireplace and bay window overlooking the courtyard patio. The adjacent sitting room adds even more living space alongside the office and two main level bedrooms, with new hardwood floors (installed 2025).

The chimney was repaired and fully cleaned 2024. Downstairs you will also find a large storage room, laundry and utility room, and an attached greenhouse, which was replaced by the most recent owners, and will no doubt help your plants thrive through the winter. Don't miss the original hen house, which is spacious and great for storage! Ample parking with the oversized attached 3-car garage, expanded driveway and carport connecting the driveway from east to west.
