If you ever dreamed of owning a rambling historic farmhouse, then look no further. This home offers a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you step inside. From the original woodwork and inlaid oak floors to tasteful upgrades, this home blends the essence of old-world charm with modern convenience. Completely remodeled by a contractor since 2021, quality craftsmanship shows throughout. Highlights include original hardware, leaded-glass windows, millwork including two sets of pocket doors, entry with grand staircase, second back staircase, library/office with floor to ceiling shelves, bonus rooms and flexible layout, and the majestic maples and walking trails throughout the five-plus acres. Newly remodeled in 2023 the eat-in cook's kitchen invites family gatherings and will be the heart of your new home. The kitchen features both banquette and peninsula seating, soapstone countertops, custom tilework, ample cabinets and pantry, and all newer appliances that include a 36-inch gas range and built-in microwave drawer. The flexible downstairs floorplan also hosts a front living room with decorative tiled Victorian fireplace, dining room, library/office, sunroom/breakfast room, half bath, and a bonus room (second office, yet another bedroom?). A mudroom, convenient laundry area, and a second fridge in the breezeway from the large two-car attached garage add to the home's functionality. Upstairs showcases four bedrooms, a dressing room with closet system and remodeled family and main bedroom baths. Relax in your completely remodeled ensuite with clawfoot tub/shower, towel warmer, and vintage accents. Large attic space with full decked floor could be easily developed into finished floor space. Did we mention the LAND! Stroll the winding trails on your gently rolling acres with meadows, woods, blackberry patches, apple and pear trees, and your own sledding hill. This historic haven awaits its next discerning owner to become a part of its rich legacy. Historical research comes with this home. Perfectly situated just 10 minutes from both METRA and I-88. IMPROVEMENTS: Upgraded insulation, plumbing, electrical with underground 200-amp service, separate HVAC systems for each floor. 2021: full tear-off new roof, whole-house water conditioning chlorination filtration system, new lighting fixtures, thermal cellular shades throughout. 2022: Basement and foundation tuck pointed, new downstairs HVAC. 2023: water heater, custom storm windows for the five large leaded glass windows. 2024: Kitchen remodel, custom storm doors, remodeled upper main and hall baths, washer/dryer. 2025: New vinyl floors in kitchen, sunroom, family and mudrooms.
