Description
This outstanding Victorian, Queen-Anne style home is ready for its next owner(s)! So lovingly cared for & improved by the current owners, you will feel the warmth the moment you enter! A large front porch (22 x 8) greets you - imagine relaxing here on Summer nights! Enter the stately front door to an energy saving vestibule then on thru the main door w/beautiful Luxfer prism glass insert. The spacious center hallway offers a perfect spot for displaying artwork, or add some bookcases, a few occasional chairs. The living room includes a bay window (turret) & opens to the reading room/den & view of the center fireplace (now decorative only w/a Victoriain gas Humphrey Radiant Fire insert to possibly hook up?). An exterior door leads to a 2nd covered porch (14 x 10) and access to the fully fenced side/back yards -- Beautiful landscaping here & surrounding the home! The main floor family room is quite spacious & a perfect spot for cozying up for movie night. Notice the beautiful built in cabinet here (likely a formal dining room in prior years). This room could also be a main floor bedroom if needed w/the easily accessible full bath nearby. The kitchen is a fun space with all you need - a high-grade Viking oven/range, large pantry closet, table space, 2 large windows to let in morning sunshine, & easy access from the rear door for loading & unloading groceries, etc. Wander back to the formal dining room & up the beautiful custom-built oak staircase w/a beautiful leaded glass window sourced from a Central Illinois church & boasting a flash glass floral perimeter. The spacious 2nd floor landing leads to 4 bedrooms (one now used as office), the large dressing room/walk-in closet (could add 2nd floor laundry here? - plumbing at sink) & the 2nd full bath. All bedrooms decent-size, bright & sunny. Extra closet space in hallway & that large dressing room! Interior stairs lead to huge 3rd floor attic w/so many possibilities to finish into play area for the children, an artist loft, primary bedroom expansion - ?? - you decide! Sellers added quality rock wool insulation to floor of the attic for extra energy efficiency! Back through the walk-in closet is the rear "Chicago-style" porch leading to a clean basement w/laundry room, multiple work areas, the mechanicals. Newer gas valve & control box for the boiler. 200 amp electric w/2 panels. Majority of plumbing has been updated to copper. "Half" bath/extra commode also here. Last, but definitely not least is the newly built garage (apx 10 yrs) measuring 24 x 24 w/walk up stairs to 2nd floor loft, a versatile area for whatever you could imagine! This home is an architectural gem boasting many original details (turret, steep roof, heavy stone porches, hardwood floors & trim) plus the added quality features done by one of the sellers as an expert woodworker. All this and located near Lake Michigan & Waukegan's beautiful beaches, the Genesee Theatre w/many great shows, very close to the train station for easy commuting - see this one soon!
