Rare opportunity to own a Historic 5BR Victorian in Berwyn's Depot District. Only the 2nd time this home has been available, it was owned by 1 family for 129 years. Built in 1893 by Berwyn's first pharmacist, this 5-bed, 2.5-bath home blends original craftsmanship with modern updates. The main level offers original hardwood floors throughout, 9 foot ceilings, parlor reception room, large dining room with tray ceiling, eat in kitchen, and a large bedroom with full bath. The 2nd level also offers original hardwood flooring, 4 additional bedrooms, one full updated hall bath, and a family room. The 2nd floor offers generational living options as part could be used as a private apartment. The 3rd floor attic offers tons of storage, and could be additional living space with an added heat source. The full basement has a semi finished feel, is functional with half bath/sauna room, open to original exposed stone walls, laundry, plenty of storage, could be finished, and an easy walk out to the back yard. The home sits on a double lot with two car garage and extra long driveway. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Berwyn's history-rich in character, full of light, and better in person than any photo can show. Located in Berwyn's 1st Ward, just a short walk to the historic Depot District with amazing dining and community events, steps to the BNSF Metra stations . 30 minutes from your front door to Downtown, easy airport access - it's the best place to live in the city while not living in the city. Home improvements include $100k in recent updates (2022-2024): new boiler & water heater, rebuilt deck and stairs, electrical & plumbing updates, refinished hardwood flooring throughout 2nd floor, long life 30 year shingle roof (2011), windows updated (2003), and more.
