About this home
This landmark Tudor style home is a rare architectural gem and proud recipient of The Western Springs Historical Society Preservation Award. Tastefully expanded to blend historic charm with modern living and surrounded by enchanting English gardens true to its Manor-style, the property offers a serene, private oasis just a few blocks from the vibrant heart of town. The curb appeal encircles the entire home and contributes to the extraordinary uniqueness. Rich in character and architectural significance, the refined finishes and thoughtful renovations enhance the sightlines with views of the spectacular gardens from every room, and the abundance of windows provide natural light throughout the home. The spacious foyer starts the journey inside with a beautiful-turned staircase under an over-sized window and an arched opening to the large, sun-filled living room that is surrounded by windows and grounded with a beautiful fireplace. The formal dining room overlooks the back gardens and flows nicely through French doors off the kitchen and an arched opening to the living room. At its heart is a true, well thought-out chef's kitchen with an abundance of solid cabinetry, a large center island with a second sink, high-end appliances, soapstone counters and a workstation or desk overlooking the patio and fountain. The family room is open to the kitchen and has an arched barrel ceiling, a handsome fireplace and two sets of French doors that lead to the private patio making it ideal for indoor and outdoor entertaining. The stunning stone patio with a tranquil fountain creates the perfect setting for private outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation. The large fenced-in yard and mature landscaping provides an exceptional outdoor space rarely found this close to town. The first floor also has a separate office with a window to the front and a mudroom with built-ins and honed marble floor at the covered side entry. The powder room is thoughtfully located off near the mudroom and is classic with the custom tilework. The beautiful staircase takes you upstairs to a large landing with four bedrooms, a newer hall bathroom, second floor laundry and a second staircase to the finished third floor. The primary suite is truly exceptional, occupying its own private wing. This retreat features a custom fireplace and French doors that overlook the fountain, creating a peaceful sanctuary. The luxurious en-suite bath offers dual vanities, extensive cabinetry, a spacious walk-in shower, and a whirlpool soaking tub. Hardwood floors span the first and second levels, complemented by three fireplaces that add warmth and elegance. The finished lower level, with its own separate entrance, provides several versatile spaces perfect for entertainment. There is a second kitchen, and second mudroom space with built-ins, another family/game room and the other area is great for home theater, fitness room, guest area or a secluded office. There are several storage areas, too. The third floor offers additional flexible living space, ideal for a playroom, 5th bedroom, studio, or another office, along with a huge storage room. Loads of storage can be found throughout the home. Completing the property is a three-car garage designed in the style of a charming cottage guest house, with additional storage above.
