511 E Mckinley Street

Hinckley, Illinois 60520

If you love old homes, you don't want to miss this opportunity to live at 511 E McKinley! This stately home was built to last and has stood the test of time. Floors are level, pocket doors are functional, the grand staircase is solid, the wood trim and casings are thick and beautiful, and some of the original solid wood paneled doors are still adorned with original doorknobs and the skeleton keys to match! You will not find any cloudy vinyl windows with leaky seals here! Instead, you have the wood framed, leaded glass windows which were restored in 2022 (re-weighted and reglazed) so that they will last for many more years to come! And while all of those features make this old home so charming, you may be left wondering if "old home" = money pit. Well...NOT HERE! This home has been thoroughly updated with new electrical wiring, plumbing, forced air and heat, new roof, gutters and appliances (all in 2022). Bathrooms have been totally renovated and so has the kitchen! The various rooms offer endless options for use. The primary bedroom on the main level is currently used as an office; the finished attic could be a family room, office, playroom or game room! And, at the top of the stairs overlooking the staircase, you will find the coolest little room that has been a favorite spot for reading on floor pillows! All of the bedrooms are large with ample closet space. The full-size basement houses the laundry area and a built-in, walk-in pantry! The coop out back has electricity and can house your chickens for an endless supply of fresh eggs (saving you thousands of dollars! haha!). Although there is currently no garage, one can easily be built where the shed currently stands (or with a driveway off of McKinley). If you are not already familiar with Hinckley, check it out! It is such a great small town that feels away from it all, yet is still close to everything you need and everywhere you go! Come and tour one of the prettiest homes in Hinckley!
