Danvers, IL 61732 103 E 1400 North Road

This 19th-century farmhouse combines classic charm with modern upgrades completed between 2021 and 2025, offering reliable systems and efficient living. The home features a dual fuel heating and cooling system installed in 2025, including a high-efficiency Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump (AHRI 2024 rated: SEER2 20, EER2 12, HSPF2 9) as the primary heat source, operating down to 5F. It is backed by a 96 per cent efficient propane furnace with humidifier, installed in 2021. A Honeywell T6 Pro thermostat controls when the propane backup turns on. Corn Belt Energy provides a discounted rate of 4.45/kWh for electricity used by the heat pump between October and April, measured by a dedicated submeter. Key improvements include a new septic system (2021), perimeter fencing, custom barn door, removable stair railing, new plumbing and electrical work, water heater, and washer hook-up. In 2022, the roof was repaired on the house and barn, a sump pump with battery backup was installed, and new dryer outlet and vent were added. In 2023, most windows were replaced (some had been replaced earlier) and a new washing machine was added. Two new interior doors were installed in 2025. The property has been operated as an eco-friendly fiber farm for the past four years, using only organic methods such as rotational grazing and composting. Additional trees and shrubs have been planted in the barn and pasture areas to support livestock and local wildlife. All major systems and infrastructure have been updated, making this a practical and well-maintained property ready for new ownership.
