Built in 1857 by Josiah Little-founder of the original J. Little Bank, now First National Bank of Amboy-this stately brick home, affectionately known as The Little House, is a rare blend of local history and timeless craftsmanship. Set on over 1 acres at the edge of town and located directly across from Amboy City Park, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a peaceful setting with convenient access to town amenities. Inside, original hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by classic built-in interior window shutters that add charm and character to every room. The newly renovated kitchen features elegant quartz countertops and modern updates, while the main-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. A detached 2-car garage includes a spacious workshop-ideal for projects, storage, or extra work space. If you're seeking a home with rich history, thoughtful updates, and room to breathe, The Little House is truly one of a kind. Being Sold As-Is

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
