Unique looking house! Circa 1890 in Illinois. $145,000

What would you do with that curved space? It’s unique! This home was built in 1890. It is located in Prophetstown, Illinois. I’m assuming that curved space was originally a covered front porch and it was enclosed at some point. The leaded glass window inside looks like exterior. I bet there are hardwood floors underneath all of the carpeting. There is a lot of natural light, french doors and a transom window. The home has a large back deck and a detached two car garage. There is a Generac generator. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,719 square feet. $145,000
