Nestled in the heart of downtown Plainfield, this stunning historic landmark home was built in 1898 by a Civil War veteran. Meticulously maintained, this solidly built late Queen Anne home has been designated a historical landmark by the Village of Plainfield. Step through the front door into a breathtaking sweeping foyer, setting the tone for the character and charm throughout. Recently repainted, the home boasts hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and expansive picture windows that flood the space with natural light. Gorgeous French doors, original wood trim, and solid Southern heart pine doors enhance the timeless beauty of this home. The spacious living room features soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural sunlight. Through another set of French doors, you'll find the formal dining room, complete with a charming bay window.
