Property Description

This is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful mansion that was built in 1865 and is in excellent condition. This exquisite Italianate style home was built by Samuel Hoge as a wedding gift for his daughter, Charlotte, and her husband, Civil War veteran Capt. William Reardon Jr. has been thoughtfully restored to its original grandeur. This rare gem offers refined historic elegance paired with tasteful modern updates. This beautiful home was built by skilled craftsmen over a century and a half ago and features splendid details including 11-foot ceilings, ornate crown moldings, carved cornices, plaster medallions, hand-carved doors, and a grand staircase. Two original marble fireplaces, one in the parlor and another in an upstairs bedroom, have been converted to electric, preserving their timeless charm. Modern upgrades blend seamlessly with the historic character: a chef's kitchen with granite countertops, tile flooring, and high-end appliances, a spacious mudroom with custom cabinetry, granite counters, and premium washer/dryer, plus two guest suite bathrooms in addition to a luxurious primary suite. Many new windows and maintenance-free vinyl siding with wood-like appeal add convenience without sacrificing style. Outdoor living is just as impressive with a heated in-ground pool, a large balcony, a covered front porch, a kitchen side porch, and a historic back porch that overlooks a lovingly maintained rose garden-all set on 2.67 beautifully landscaped acres. A heated four-car garage with shop area and bathroom offers practical luxury. This property also features several new farm buildings including two small barns with lean-to's, two poultry coops and a shed. Located in picturesque Morris, just 60 minutes from downtown Chicago, this property is minutes from country clubs, the historic I&M Canal, and a downtown famously described as "Rockwellian" by the Chicago Tribune. Morris is a vibrant hub for festivals, boutique shopping, and dining. The Reardon Mansion is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of living history-meticulously maintained and move-in ready. Don't miss your chance to make this historic masterpiece your own.
