Once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the most historic homes in the area. Built by barbed wire baron Isaac Ellwood to entice Dr John Cook to become the founding President of what is now Northern Illinois University, this imposing home impresses in classical Greek revival style. Towering Ionic (Scamozzi) columns adorn this fabulous historic home. Restored columns in 2022, refinished quarter-sawn oak floors in 2021, new gutters/gutter guards in 2020, and new furnace in coach house in 2020. Stunning features include built-ins, hardwood floors, beveled and leaded windows, crown molding, antique chandeliers, and custom details throughout that are sure to please the eye. Main floor features stunning great room/living room/family room, library, separate dining room with beautiful built-in, and updated kitchen with granite countertops, Viking double oven and cooktop, and all stainless steel appliances. A great staircase leads upstairs to spacious loft and 5 bedrooms. Four of the bedrooms boast walk-in closets, each with a sink. 2-story laundry chute. Large attic with skylight. Deep basement features game room, plenty of storage and large laundry room with sink. Screened porch, terrace, 2 ornate fireplaces, all located on double corner lot close to NIU and walking distance to downtown DeKalb!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
