Night at the Museum can be every night in the historic Dr. William Dougall house which is now available for purchase! This circa 1872 2.5 story Queen Anne style home features a three-story corner tower with cut shingle trim; a massive 6' x 24' entry with open wood staircase; all mechanicals updated (2017); complete roof replacement with architectural shingles (2017); modern detached 2.5-car garage with an independent electrical panel & newly paved driveway; 2nd and 3rd floor attic spaces that can easily be finished for additional living space; original wood flooring, windows, and trim, as well as two sets of pocket doors; soaring 10' ceilings, interior transom windows, built-in cabinetry, decorative fireplaces, open front porch, enclosed side and rear porches. The home is ready for a new owner to finish the interior restoration to enjoy a stunning and spacious home. This over 3000 sf home features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, multiple living spaces, large kitchen, main level laundry, and parlor which can easily be transformed to add a main floor bedroom. Additional recent updates include a professionally painted exterior, high-efficiency HVAC providing central heating and air, new electrical on all levels, and new plumbing (including a new copper water service line from the street). The limestone basement with exterior access has received a new I-beam and cement-filled posts. **The main level has been dry-walled, 2nd level needs drywall and other finishing work, therefore the property is being sold AS IS to a cash or qualified rehab loan buyer. All reasonable offers considered. ** This is a rare opportunity to own the home of a prominent and historic figure. Dr. William Dougall was a Scottish immigrant, captain of a Black regiment in the Civil War, Chief Surgeon of the Illinois & Michigan Canal in Lemont, surgeon & pharmacist, and Joliet postmaster before home mail delivery. **IMMEDIATE POSSESSION POSSIBLE** *See the 3D Tour and Floorplan to appreciate the possibilities more fully! * Zoned R-2, Single Family Residential/ Buyer may be able to occupy 1st floor while renovating the 2nd level.
