You're invited to fall in love with this vintage era cottage situated near the heart of historic downtown Sycamore. What began as a quaint summer getaway in the bygone days of the past has been lovingly transformed by its various owners, into a charming year 'round home in folk-style fashion. From the covered patio, to the tiny bathroom, to the hand-crafted faux fireplace, this one bedroom home is cottage core at its finest! The large fenced in yard is ready to be claimed by gardens, pets, and cook-outs; while the kitchen pantry is ready to be stocked with the things that comfort food is made of. Whether you're purchasing your first home, downsizing, or seeking an affordable investment, its time to add your chapter to the history of "The Little House" and discover the joy of your journey home.
