Description
Stunning renovation of historic and highly sought after "Heart's Haven" of Riverside. This elegant StorybookTudor is located in the historic First Division on a corner lot with a deep front yard, expansive stone terrace and charming backyard. Leaded glass windows, brick and stone exterior and tile roof. The current owners have lovingly restored this home, including a full kitchen renovation featuring amish custom cabinetry, a La Cornue Oven, Sub Zero refrigerators with a eating area adjacent. The spacious dining room leads to the sought after screened in patio, a dream in summer with shade trees and a view of the Coonley Estate. All bathrooms have been updated with Visual Comfort lighting and marble tile. The mechanicals and much of the infrastructure have all be updated. The oversized sunken living room features a corner wood burning fireplace and leaded glass doors leading to your stone veranda overlooking the deep front yart. A sunroom with terracotta tiles is separated with the original iron designed gate, it is truly magnificent. A powder room with the original features is all restored. A rear entry to the yard is available through a turreted room, that would make an perfect mudroom if needed. On the second floor are three generous sized bedrooms, the primary suite has large walk in closets, a full bathroom with marble heart tile heated floors and a sitting area. A full hall bath is adjacent to one of the bedrooms offering an en suite set up and the third bedroom is equally spacious. As you head to the third floor you will find two more bedrooms, a full bathroom and laundry. Two darling balconies and you are most certainly sure to feel as though you are sleeping in a castle. Plus a hidden play spot for the littles is a real treat. The lower level basement entertainment area is one of a kind and must be seen to appreciate. A horseshoe shaped wet bar with the original features is functioning and ready to take you back in time. Custom murals commissioned by the original owner and completed by an artist who had done work for the Palmer House depict a story of King Arthurs Court. Terrazzo floors with inlaid gold hearts, a wine cellar with inlaid silver coins, full bath, lounge area and corner gas fireplace - this is a treat and has hosted many a party since the home was built. The exterior shines in Spring and Summer with lush gardens, beautiful pathways all surrounded by a brick gate. Two car garage with EV charger. This beautiful haven of hospitality and history is located just 11 miles from Chicago with xlose proximity to town, metra train, many parks, paths and nature.
