114 N Fulton St, Lacon, IL 61540

One of Lacon’s earliest known homes, believed to date back to circa 1873, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Illinois history. Built during the town’s earliest years, the home retains original woodwork, transom windows above solid wood doorways, a historic grand staircase, large build ins, and timeless architectural character. Original features also include a butler's pantry with a passthrough serving window to dining room, and a separate butler's stairwell. With five bedrooms, two full baths, a newer roof (2022), and modern mechanical updates, this home thoughtfully blends historic charm with functional living. The exterior presents a stately façade accented by ornate corbels that wrap the home, reinforcing its distinguished architectural presence. A truly special property for those who appreciate craftsmanship, history, and character rarely found today. The estate sits on a double lot which is over half an acre with a detached two car garage and a couple porches. Agent Owned.
