DuPage, US
Seller invites highest and best terms by 5pm CDT on Monday, May 4. Situated on a hill and overlooking a natural pond, this stately estate revitalizes what the word "majestic" means today. Rich in history and stature, this vintage home is a rare find with its idyllic location in Downers Grove's woodland treasure, Denburn Woods. When this home was built in 1872, gracious living was a cornerstone of design. Period touches remain and blend seamlessly with modern features, adding function to form. Expansive, yet adaptable rooms, 10+ ft ceilings, abundant, light-filled double pane windows, five fireplaces most with original tile work and woodwork, a charming screened-in porch, au-pair quarters and a quaint Sitting Room - all treasures you rare in today's homes. The Kitchen features a large island, cabinets-galore, a Scullery, eating-area and a separate entrance to the outdoors. You'll find the grounds, spanning more than an acre, just as magnificent as the home itself. A small pond, stone terrace perennial gardens, mature trees, spectacular night skies, make living and entertaining an experience you don't expect in the suburbs. It's not often you have enviable privacy, yet are connected to the splendor of Denburn Woods, Maple Grove Forest, vibrant Downtown Downers Grove, and adjacent to the Avery Coonley School. This esteemed estate awaits an owner who not only appreciates a home's beauty, but a home's story.
