Property Description
Welcome to The Prather House, where history and enchantment live side by side. Built by Jabez Capps, the first settler and founder of Mt. Pulaski, this treasured 3 bedroom, 3 bath home has watched over the town for generations. Step inside and imagine Abraham Lincoln himself resting here as he traveled the 8th Judicial Circuit; long before he would change the nation's destiny. Original hardwood floors whisper stories with every step, while the grand staircase stands as a stunning centerpiece. Arched doorways lead you to bright, welcoming rooms full of character and warmth. The beautifully updated kitchen is ready for modern living, offering granite countertops, abundant storage, and charming open shelving. Enjoy peaceful mornings in the sunroom or evenings on the screened porch, overlooking your partially fenced yard on a generous lot. Three thoughtfully updated bathrooms provide comfort, and the original brick exterior proudly preserves the past. The unfinished basement offers space for storage, a workshop, or a storm shelter. Lovingly known as The Prather House since its renovation in the 1950s by the Prather family, this home comes with an extraordinary gift—the original Abstract Deed will be passed on to its next caretaker. If you've ever dreamed of living in a place where history feels alive and every corner holds a story, this is your chance to write your own chapter. Inspections welcome but selling As Is
