Live in a home that is  a piece of history in Naperville IL.

Here’s what you need to know about those historic homes for sale

 

Imagine this scenario: you’re out house hunting and stumble upon a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind home. A place where George Washington or any other famous person back then, would’ve sipped their tea, gazed onto the gorgeously sprawling grounds, and said, “What ho, good times.” You have a strong urge to buy it on the spot. What do you do?

 

Chances are, you’ve come across what is known as a historic home. If you’re not very familiar with what that term means, let me share with you a few things on what makes a home a historic one.

 

First, we have the age. Is this property old enough? Like most other cheeses, homes get better (or more venerable) with age. There are exceptions to the rule,yes, but to qualify as a historic home, the property must be at least 50 years old.

 

Second is integrity. According to the National Register, a specific property’s integrity is  defined through 7 qualities: location, setting, materials, design, workmanship, feeling, and association. Simply put, does your property still look the way it did in the past? Does it radiate an aesthetic feeling of history? Is the workmanship a representative of a  specific architectural style or method of construction during a certain time period?

 

If a home answers yes to all of these, most probably it is classified as a historic home.

 

Lastly, significance. Does this property have a rich backstory of historic events? Was it witness to events that were of historic significance in its day? If the property is connected to  or associated with important events, people, or developments of the past, this is a good sign that it is a historical landmark.
