1675 E. 675th Road , Paris, IL 61944(Edgar County)

This beautiful, one-of-a-kind, custom-built log home is located just outside of Paris. The home sits east of N Terre Haute Rd and is the last house on E 675th Rd. When the seller built this home, a lot of the building materials used were reclaimed from an old house and barn. The outside is very rustic, finished with old barn siding that has wide chinking between each hand-hued beam. The home boasts three porches, two of which are covered, and all are finished with reclaimed wood. As you make your way through the front door, the first thing that catches your eye is the full-length logs and open trusses that span the width of the living room. The living room’s focal point is the brick fireplace with a new gas log insert. Just off the living room, you will find the open, eat-in kitchen area. The stone countertops and hand-built, cherry cabinets complete this kitchen. A large island with bar stools makes the perfect space for entertaining guests. The master bedroom and bathroom are also located on the main level of the home, along with the laundry room. The upper level of the home has two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. A cozy foyer with a fireplace is located at the top of the stairs. Both the main level and upstairs have custom woodwork, along with reclaimed doors and exposed wood. As you make your way to the basement, you will find a large sitting area complete with a stone fireplace, which is perfect for those cold winter days. Off the family room, you will find a spacious bonus room with a closet and storage areas. A shop area and mechanical room are located on the opposite side of the basement. The shop area is unfinished with concrete floors and has access to the outside of the house. A new roof was put on approximately six years ago, as well as blown-in insulation in the attic in 2021. A spacious, 39’x23’ two-car detached garage is situated north of the house. The garage is sided to match the house and has a concrete floor. A large upstairs above the garage provides additional storage. Additionally, this property has a 20’x32’ woodshed, where the current owner stored all of the extra building supplies and materials. Two smaller buildings are located on this property for extra storage or gardening supplies. One of these buildings is located south of the pool and would be perfect for storing pool supplies and items. The pool is 30’ and has a spacious wood deck on one side as well as a walkway around the whole thing. The majority of the property is rolling hardwood with some open pasture grass areas. There is no shortage of deer and turkeys on this property, both seen almost daily. This is truly a one-of-a-kind property with everything you could ask for right outside of town.
