Property Description

There really isn't another home quite like this in Champaign. Tucked among mature trees in the middle of town, this one-of-a-kind home feels surprisingly private while keeping you close to everything. From the property you can even hear the University of Illinois Marching Illini on football Saturdays-a small reminder of just how unique this location is. With more than 2,000 square feet, 2 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a 2-car attached garage, the home was designed around reclaimed materials and craftsmanship you simply don't see in newer construction. Historic barn wood, exposed beams and posts, yellow poplar reclaimed from an 1871 home, and even old square nails are incorporated throughout. Wood used for the staircase flooring was reclaimed from a former Springfield saddle shop, adding another piece of history to the home. The character is immediately apparent when you step inside. A two-story living space showcases the natural wood beams, posts, and wall paneling, with hardwood floors running throughout most of the home. From the entry, your eye carries across the living area to a striking brick fireplace that anchors the space. The kitchen brings old and new together with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances alongside custom wood cabinetry and exposed natural beams. There's plenty of room for a breakfast table, and the kitchen opens directly to the backyard and a covered flagstone patio. The main-floor primary suite includes a private bath with a custom tiled shower and distinctive vanity. Radiant in-floor heat throughout the main level adds another thoughtful feature, working alongside the home's traditional HVAC system for year-round comfort. Upstairs, the home's unique design continues. The second bedroom overlooks the main living area, and an additional den/family room provides plenty of room to relax, read, work from home, or create a space that fits your needs. The setting is just as special as the interior. Bay windows along the south side look into a stand of mature trees that creates a wooded buffer between the home and the street. Out back, established landscaping surrounds the covered flagstone patio, and a separate shed provides a great space for projects, hobbies, or a quiet getaway. The home's character has continued to evolve under its longtime second owner, whose background in floral design and the arts is reflected in the landscaping, outdoor spaces, and thoughtful details throughout the property. The garden and outdoor spaces have even been featured in publications over the years, adding another chapter to the story of this unusual home. The recently painted cedar exterior gives the home a sharp, well-maintained appearance while staying true to its natural character. This is a home that is difficult to capture with a simple list of features. From its reclaimed materials and craftsmanship to its wooded setting, artistic history, and central Champaign location, 802 La Sell offers something genuinely different.
