Your opportunity to own a piece of history awaits. Nestled on just over two acres in Oregon, Illinois is this stunning 1874 Italianate known as Pinehill by the National Register of Historic Places. Built by William Judd Mix, a pioneer of industry in the mercantile trade. The home located at 400 Mix st, named after its original owner served as a bed and breakfast for decades. The fairytale backdrop has been used as a venue for weddings and other special occasions throughout its life. The majestic setting along the Rock River with its mature pines even caught the eyes of studio directors as it was the set of the 2021 film Lacy’s Christmas Do Over.
The possibilities are nearly as endless as the charm and character of this over 5000 sq ft mansion along the pines. They truly don’t build them like this anymore, with hand carved millwork throughout the entire home. 7 rare stone clad fireplaces. A full walk-up attic with beautiful views from the Belvedere. Furthermore, the basement level is a full walkout with private full bath and laundry as well as nearly endless storage. Everyone of the 6 bedrooms offers just a little something different and a little different view but stunning from every angle.
The convenience of a second story laundry adds to the potential of this large family home or B&B getaway. Through the butler’s pantry into the kitchen which has been updated to accommodate an army of guests with its commercial grade gas stove and dual refrigerator set up. The home offers features like pocket doors, stained glass windows, a dumbwaiter converted into a laundry chute and so much more old-world charm you’ll have to see to believe. Sip Coffey on the deck overlooking the original carriage house. Or spend a quiet evening reading a book in the screened porch on the north side of the property. The original carriage house offers even more storage to this larger-than-life estate.
Don’t be fooled by the two 8 foot garage doors there is ample parking for more than 2 vehicles inside. The loft of the carriage house could easily be converted into another living space or further income producing space. Located just a few short blocks from downtown Oregon with shops restaurants and entertainment along the rock river. Just under two hours from Chicago, and under a half hour to the nearest airport. You do not want to miss the opportunity to live your own fairytale or grow your investment portfolio with this extraordinary property.
