About this home

For over 40 years my wife and I have purchased many fancy historic homes, built for the families of local businesses. We have invested 100's of thousand's, and countless hours maintaining and restoring properties. We are selling 3 of the properties, 220, 226, 247 West Locust Street all have apartments, rooms and could be owner occupied. For now the apartments are available, to owner occupy or rent. Let the tenants pay for the building or 220 & 226 could be single family homes. 247 Locust has very high income, and a large 3 BR apartment and a second 3 BR apt plus 10 rental rooms. All have parking, all have great oak floors, woodwork, and features. Two blocks to the resurgent downtown and NIU and shopping, in the historic district. The owner is a licensed Real Estate Broker in the State of Illinois. Financial information available for interested buyers.
