Description
Amazing opportunity to own a piece of Champaign history! Built in 1928 and designed by architect George Ramey, also credited with such buildings as the Champaign City Building, Robeson Department Store and was the local supervising architect of the Virginia Theatre, this Georgian Revival boasts over 5,000 SF of magnificent splendor. When opportunity knocks, open the door. When you do you will discover, past the double entry, a grand foyer that welcomes guests into this elegant yet warm and inviting masterpiece featuring a chef's kitchen with top-of-the-line Viking appliances, heated flooring, granite countertops, breakfast area AND fireplace. Off the eat-in kitchen, tucked under the back staircase, you will find a spacious coat closet (connected to the entry), built-in cabinets and utility closets. As you enter the formal living room, your eye immediately goes to the grand fireplace, the focal point of room. The room also prides built-in bookcases, custom lighting, and beautiful wood flooring. The formal dining room features built-in display cabinets and French doors leading to the elegant rear patio and garden. For a more informal gathering, don't miss the family room, again with fireplace, beautiful woodwork, and arched doorways. The main level also features an inviting sunroom that opens onto one of the two patios. Up the sweeping staircase with original chandelier and amazing wrought iron banister you'll find three full baths, and four bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with stunning en suite with heated flooring, custom shower, numerous built-in cabinets and dressing area that would make a wonderful nursery. The third floor offers the additional three bedrooms, great for guests or office/library, and additional full bath. The basement includes a finished den or game room, wine cellar with sitting area and another half bath. The basement also houses a large laundry area and additional storage. The nearly one-acre yard is an entertainers dream come true, featuring beautiful land scaping including a waterfall, stream, and Koi Pond, two patios with custom pergola and spectacular lighting throughout the garden. Words cannot do justice to this one-of-a-kind, beautifully maintained, home. Opportunity is knocking....... A full list of improvements is available upon request.
