A rare opportunity to own a country farm on over 8 acres, a piece of Illinois history!  Built 150 years ago by Jake Strang Jr., the farmhouse was one of the first homes in the Millburn area, adjoining the scenic Mill Creek.  This charming 2-story brick home was built in 1856, has high ceilings, wood floors, a sun room, fireplace in the living room with bay window area.  The outbuildings include a 13-stall horse stable and arena, pole barn, old silo.  The forced air furnaces are only 1 & 3 years old!  Close to shopping and not far from highway access to Route 41 & 294 tollway.
