16 S Main Street

Historic Gem with Ties to the Founder of Arbor Day! This prominent Greek Revival home in the Village of Adams retains much of its classic charm & character plus a number of modern upgrades... all it needs are the finishing touches. The original structure was first built by the grandfather of J. Sterling Morton, the originator of Arbor Day. From the stunning front entry w/ cut glasswork to the banister in its original finish, this home's past shines as soon as you step inside. A large parlor w/ inlaid hardwoods flows into a central hall, flanked by 2 bedrooms and full bathroom. Pass through the dining room to a spacious eat-in kitchen featuring granite counters, stainless appliances, & walk-in pantry. An adjacent bonus room, 2nd full bathroom w/ clawfoot tub, and roughed-in laundry room complete the first floor. The second floor remains unfinished and could be more living space. Outside you'll find mature landscaping hiding a deep 1.5 acre lot w/ 2-story barn/garage. With a little love, this gem will shine again!
