Built in 1906, this historic farmhouse requires substantial rehabilitation to meet modern living standards. While the kitchen features a high-end DÉCOR range and stainless steel refrigerator, the cabinets, flooring, and backsplash are dated. The bathrooms are significantly outdated with tiled countertops, old fixtures, and tiled showers, necessitating a full renovation. The pervasive green shag carpet and dated wallpaper throughout the living areas and bedrooms also require immediate replacement. Although the exterior appears well-maintained, the interior's overall condition, particularly the bathrooms and flooring, demands considerable investment beyond minor updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Historic & Unique Character: A rare 1906 Orange Farmhouse, described as a 'one-of-a-kind opportunity' with only three owners, offering significant historic charm and unique appeal.
Expansive & Private Lot: Situated on a large, secluded 20,350 square foot lot, providing ample outdoor space, privacy, and potential for further landscaping or development.
Upgraded Kitchen & Features: Boasts an upgraded kitchen with a 6-burner DÉCOR range, a large formal dining room, a separate wood-paneled den/family room, and two fireplaces.
Abundant Parking & Storage: Features 3 garage spaces in two separate buildings, an additional 2 covered spaces, and an accessible walk-in basement, offering extensive parking and storage solutions.
Desirable Location & Landscaping: Located within the highly regarded Villa Park School District and features manicured grounds with mature shade trees, a brick courtyard, and producing fruit trees (Persimmon, Pomegranate, Macadamia Nut, Avocado).

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance & Systems: As a 1906 property, it may require ongoing maintenance typical of historic homes and potentially lacks modern amenities such as central air conditioning (not explicitly mentioned).
Attic Bedrooms: Two of the four bedrooms are located in the finished attic, which could present challenges with accessibility, ceiling height, or climate control for some buyers.
Potential Overpricing: The current listing price of $1.85M is significantly higher than the estimated property value of $1.57M, suggesting it may be overpriced relative to market comparables, as also indicated by a recent price reduction.
