Description
Its all in the details! Stunning 3-story, Second Empire Italianate home in prime in-town Glencoe location. Originally built in 1854, significantly expanded in 1876 and reconstructed, restored and rejuvenated by highly sought Historic Preservation Architect R. Scott Javore & Associates from 1995-1997. The core of this home from 1854, is the oldest remaining structure in Glencoe. All restoration work was done in keeping with the original historic details and time period: 11 ft. ceiling height, 2 ft. crown moldings, detailed window casings, gracious main and rear staircases with antique mahogany newel post/handrail and so much more. Cost of this home and extensive revitalization in 1997 was $2,250,000. It goes without saying that todays cost for this quality of work would be significantly higher. The 26 ft. wrap-around front porch welcomes you with its sweeping view of almost 3/4 acre of lushly landscaped grounds (imagine private enclave, entertaining or pool area). The entrance foyer with its 11 ft. ceiling height and long, wide hallway leads to large scale entertaining spaces-Living Room, Family Room, Cooks Kitchen and Pantry, Guest Suite, Mud Room and Powder Room complete the first floor. The sun-drenched 2nd floor has a very spacious Primary Suite with historic balcony, 2 separate custom closets and vanity areas and a bathroom fireplace, fully outfitted office space, 3 additional large bedrooms with 2 more bathrooms (one ensuite and one jack and jill) and spacious laundry room. The 3rd floor provides an additional office space, 3 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a convenient second laundry room and separate exercise room. This 3rd level offers sweeping views of the Village year-round. Easy access to the train is not accidental-Walter Gurnee (former mayor of Chicago and head of the Chicago and Milwaukee Railroad) built this country house and had the Train Station situated a comfortable walk from his front door. But don't expect the train to wait for you like it did for him! This magnificent home is steps from vibrant downtown Glencoe shops and restaurants, schools, world-class Writers Theatre, Metra train, beautiful Lakefront, Friends Park, Botanic Garden and Ravinia.
