Property Description

Discover timeless character in this beloved American Foursquare, nestled in West Chicago's historic district. This three-story home blends original charm with thoughtful updates, including a completely remodeled kitchen in 2026 and 2023 replacement windows designed to complement the home's original architecture. Beautiful woodwork, hardwood floors, a stunning staircase, leaded-glass bookcases, mirrored dining room buffet, and charming butler's pantry showcase its historic appeal. Two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and character. Upstairs, find two spacious bedrooms, one with its own fireplace and two closets, plus a beautifully updated bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. The vaulted third-floor attic with skylights offers exciting potential for a private primary suite or additional living space. The basement is already framed and ready for your finishing touches. Outside, enjoy a generous side yard, detached two-car garage, and additional parking. A rare opportunity to enjoy historic charm, modern updates, and room to make this home your own!
