This beautiful Victorian home built around 1893 in the heart of West Chicago combines old world charm with modern updated conveniences. The house boasts stunning original oak floors, trim and mouldings, 10 ft ceilings w/plaster cove mouldings, & beautiful original stained glass. The gorgeous kitchen was remodeled in 2021 and kept the original character but added granite counters, a granite island table, all stainless steel appliances, a large farmhouse style sink, heated floors and a ton of storage. It leads to a DR w/built-in Oak breakfront and bay window and then to a LR w/decorative wood fireplace. A 1st fl BR or office and an updated powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs are 3 more BR and a full updated bath with separate shower and whirlpool tub. The primary has an adjacent sitting room/potential large closet and the 2nd BR has a juliet balcony. Up 1 more floor you will find finished attic space perfect for a playroom or family game room and additional storage access. Don't miss the dry, partially finished basement with a great built in bar perfect for a game room, a cast iron laundry sink & lots of storage space. Outside is a lovely wrap around porch with swing, large 2 tier stone patio with firepit, and a large 3 car garage with attached screened porch. This lovely home is situated on a double corner lot, with mature trees, only blocks to Reed Keppler Park, Turtle Splash Waterpark, and the train station. Updates include: HVAC 1999, Roof 2007, Exterior paint 2018, HWH 2019, Kitchen 2021.
