Description
With the rich detail commonly reserved for the grandest homes, this English Tudor is a rare gem. When built in 1931, fine materials were chosen: a Ludowici terra cotta tile roof, copper gutters and downspouts, weathered edge stone, stucco and timbers for the construction. The talented current owner has used his skill to maintain and enhance all the distinctive character of this home, including making copper screens, solid wood carriage doors for the garage, and hiring top contractors to maintain the roof, replace the stucco and timbers to the original specifications, and replace the driveway. The solid front door opens to a wide Living Room with slate floor and wood burning fireplace. A beautiful rounded staircase enhances the room too with its hand made railing with oak leaf design. Arched doorways open to the formal Dining Room and Kitchen, each with hardwood floors. An inviting enclosed porch opens off the Living Room and overlooks the deep yard. The primary suite on the second floor features a wood burning fireplace, hardwood floors, and a private haven; a porch with three walls of windows in the treetops. Two additional bedrooms are spacious and bright, one has a private bath. The second bath opens to the primary suite and the hallway. The lower level has been well utilized for hobbies and a workshop and the laundry is there as well. All of this and Chestnut Avenue too! This is the favorite street of Kenilworth Gardens where all the lots are extra deep (175 feet), the houses are set back further from the street, and the parkway trees form an arch over the street in summer. Walk to the train yourself or watch the children walk to school, and enjoy the beaches, pools, indoor skating and tennis, golf, and at Wilmette has to offer!
