Description
Welcome to 415 S. Fourth Street, a secluded in-town retreat designed for generations to gather. Set on a rare, half-acre double lot spanning Fourth and Fifth streets, this five-bedroom, 41/2-bath historic estate blends late-Victorian Queen Anne architecture with classical craftsmanship. Located in a quiet, walkable neighborhood just blocks from vibrant downtown St. Charles, this home offers unmatched privacy, extraordinary character, and the space to create lasting memories. Bring your design ideas-this unique property presents an incredible opportunity to restore, update, and customize a historic masterpiece to your exact taste. Commissioned in the early 1890s by Civil War veteran J.B.T. Wheeler, the residence beautifully preserves its historic workmanship. Iconic features include a sweeping wraparound porch, a graceful central staircase, substantial moldings, leaded-glass windows, original wood floors, and glass-paneled pocket doors. At the heart of the home is a dramatic, exceptionally large family room with a grand fireplace-the ultimate setting for holidays, milestones, and large-scale entertaining. The spacious kitchen and bathrooms are ready for updates and modernization. The expansive footprint and generous room proportions provide a strong canvas for your thoughtful vision. The park-like grounds are a true outdoor sanctuary. Featuring an in-ground pool, an expansive lawn, and mature ornamental gardens, the estate has comfortably hosted gatherings of over 100 guests. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage designed to complement the property's carriage-house aesthetic, plus a separate, detached art studio nestled beneath magnificent black walnut trees-perfect for a home office, woodworking shop, or creative retreat.
