Rare opportunity to own a piece of Orland Park history! Built in 1931, the historic John Habenicht Farmhouse is one of the few brick farmhouses remaining in the Orland area. The Habenicht family was among Orland's earliest settlers, arriving in 1861, and this distinctive home beautifully preserves the character and craftsmanship of its era while offering extensive modern updates. Situated on a large, tree-filled corner lot, this 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath home welcomes you with a spacious covered front porch and an open, inviting floor plan filled with original architectural details. Gorgeous maple and heart pine hardwood floors, exceptional original millwork and trim, and vintage touches throughout give the home a warmth and character that simply cannot be replicated in newer construction. The large kitchen offers a blend of original and replacement cabinetry, granite countertops, hardwood flooring, and plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining. A vintage-inspired full bath with classic subway tile completes the main level. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms feature walk-in closets and additional architectural charm. The fully finished basement, completed in 2021, dramatically expands the home's living space with a recreation area, full bathroom, laundry room, studio/bedroom, two large storage rooms, and additional flexible space ideal for a home office, fitness area, hobbies, or guests. Significant improvements provide added peace of mind, including a complete tear-off roof replacement on both the home and garage in 2024 with new copper gutters, tuckpointing in 2026, newer Pella windows, 2021 water heater, 2017 radon mitigation system, updated electrical and plumbing, and extensive foundation reinforcement completed along the east and north sides in 2021 and south side in 2016. Enjoy mature trees, a large corner lot, beautiful covered front porch, excellent school choices, and a location convenient to Schuessler Park, Metra transportation, Orland Village Center, shopping, dining, and everything Orland Park has to offer. A truly special home offering a rare combination of Orland Park history, timeless craftsmanship, substantial updates, and modern-day functionality.
