Property Description

Welcome to The Victorian Fox, a beautifully restored and highly recognizable historic property in the heart of downtown St. Charles. Once home to the Caldwell family, owners of the longtime local staple Caldwell Meat Market, this iconic residence blends rich local history with modern comfort and investment potential. Currently operating as a proven and successful short term rental, The Victorian Fox offers a rare opportunity for seasoned investors or those looking to enter the STR market with an established brand already in place. The property comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests and has become a sought after destination for wedding weekends, bridal showers, family gatherings, dinner parties, cocktail events, and more. Meticulously restored in partnership with a local architect, builder, and the historic preservation committee, the home showcases timeless character alongside thoughtful updates. Improvements include a rebuilt architecturally relevant front porch, restored original woodwork and shingles, new LP siding, updated exterior doors, SPACEPAK air conditioning system, custom gas fireplace, updated appliances, restored hardwood floors, and more. The third floor attic bedroom features vaulted ceilings and new carpeting. A detached flex space adds even more versatility and can easily function as a private office, workout studio, art studio, speakeasy, creative space, or whatever fits your vision. The professionally designed space features heated floors, radiant heat, air conditioning, and endless possibilities. Located just steps from downtown St. Charles favorites including Pollyanna Brewery, the Arcada Theatre, shopping, dining, and the anticipated Whole Foods development, this property delivers unmatched visibility and walkability. The home can also be sold fully furnished with future bookings in place, allowing for immediate income potential and a seamless transition for new ownership. Whether you're looking for a one of a kind residence, an income producing investment, or both, The Victorian Fox is truly a rare offering.
