The Charm of history and the luxury of modern conveniences are abundant in this grand Queen Anne Victorian home in one of Downers Grove's most coveted neighborhoods, Prince Pond! This incredible creation built in 1892 resulted in a warm and inviting home filled with sunny spaces, tons of natural light and views in all directions from the many nearly floor to ceiling windows that are peppered throughout the home. When you walk up and see the historic entry door with beveled glass insert and sidelights, you will know you are about to see something truly special. Once inside, you'll notice the beautiful and endless details. Oak hardwood flooring spans the entire first and second floors. The kitchen remodeled in 2017, added custom 42" cabinetry with dovetail joinery, soft close drawers and doors, lighted glass display cabinets, under cabinet lighting, a built-in pantry cabinet with pull out shelves, gorgeous granite counters, stainless appliances, and a hammered copper deep bowl sink with integrated cutting board. The open concept living, family, and dining spaces flow seamlessly together and beckon to host many family gatherings. You can curl up with a great book or relax with a cup of coffee on the window seat in the family room watching the world go by through the picture window adorned with a multi-light beveled glass transom. Upstairs you'll find three large bedrooms and a den and two completely remodeled baths. The primary suite has its own en-suite bath with step in shower and custom closet organizers. The den shows off a brick feature wall with built in cabinetry and closed storage. Don't stop now-there is much more to see. A staircase leads you up to the finished attic where seemingly endless possibilities await. Currently used as the fourth bedroom, it boasts two built in bed niches, built in shelving, an art studio space, additional unfinished storage space, and an incredible turret room with chandelier lighting. NEW CENTRAL AIR and THERMOSTAT 5/23/23. So many places to entertain in this one-of-a-kind property. There's a huge wrap around front porch, three stone and brick patios, a professionally landscaped yard, hot tub and more. The rear yard more than doubled in size with the purchase of an adjacent 50 x 66 parcel of land making this lot one of the largest in Prince Pond. Nestled between charming homes of the past on one of the most historic streets in Downers Grove, you'll be able to walk downtown and enjoy the many restaurants, shops, library, and the historic Tivoli Theatre. Just minutes to the Metra station with the most express stops into Union Station and great schools including award winning Pierce Downer Elementary School and Downers Grove North High School. Let your story begin here and add your legacy to this beautiful home.
