Description

Own a piece of history with this remarkable Chicago home! This Victorian two-story offers three bedrooms, two baths and a rich social and political history. Built in 1887, this house was the first one built in the entire area. It has had only seven tenants, each with an interesting political or historical background. The lawyer that wrote up President Nixon’s impeachment papers actually did so in this very home! A true antique, this home also boasts a fantastic location in Jefferson Park, close to tons of restaurants and shopping. Ideally located between O’Hare and downtown Chicago, this home offers close access to I-90/94. Major parks are nearby, including Jefferson Park, Peterson Park and Portage Park, and there are several golf courses in the area. It is a five-minute drive to Lake Michigan, while attractions such as Gurnee Mills and Great America are less than 30 minutes away! This captivating home boasts a central location in an area that is quickly appreciating as more homes are being remodeled and built. The area is bound to increase in value tremendously in the next few years! On top of that, this home is the annual Jefferson Park home-decorating contest winner almost every holiday season! The new owners can continue the tradition! A pristine front lawn landscaped with bushes, flowers and lights creates excellent curb appeal. A long, paver-brick, side driveway leads to a two-and-a-half-car, detached garage with a new front automatic door and a rear door to the alley. Aluminum and vinyl siding frames the home, which also includes a new sprinkler system with high-end wet sensors to deliver water only when needed. An ivy-covered fence surrounds the backyard, which features a garden and a two-tier, redwood deck with a spectacular, above-ground, heated pool! The new, solid-mahogany front door opens to the foyer, which entices with two peaked windows. A striking chandelier hangs from the vaulted ceiling over a staircase that has its original handrail. Original hardwood floors have been impeccably preserved and stretch from the foyer into the main living area. The family room has been newly expanded, and it includes custom window treatments and a vaulted ceiling with two big skylights. Six windows and a faux fireplace are showcased in the living room. The dining room boasts a chandelier, a new chair rail and a stunning bay window. Marble sills decorate thermopane windows, which are brand-new throughout the home. Storage space is abundant in the kitchen, where built-in cabinetry and a pantry cover an entire wall. Appliances, such as a top-notch Bosch dishwasher, are negotiable. New plumbing, electrical, heat and air-conditioning add to the appeal. The master bedroom and second bedroom have been completely updated with plush carpeting, stunning vaulted ceilings and spacious double closets with built-in organizers. The second bedroom has a huge skylight, while the master has two peaked windows. The expansive master bath offers ceramic-tile flooring, a stand-alone shower and a luxurious, two-person Jacuzzi tub with a large skylight above it. An extra, gorgeous full bath offers a stand-alone shower and 24-karat-gold faucet. A third bedroom located behind the dining room can be used as an office and includes a huge closet with built-in organizer. The partially finished basement houses storage space, a newer heater, a water tank and a laundry room with included washer and dryer. And there’s another washer and dryer next to the master bedroom! This home is a true treasure! Take the virtual tour at www.buyowner.com and enter C H I 14492.
