Property Description
A rare offering of a piece of history located in the Historic First Division on an exceptionally generous lot with wide lawns in front and back, graceful statuary, and recent landscaping updates including lavish plantings of Japanese maples, dogwoods, redbuds, evergreens, and maples, on almost half an acre. Originally built in 1888 with all the charm of that era and magnificently expanded in the 1990s. This well loved home is one of the oldest structures in the quaint Village of Riverside known for curving streets and pastoral parkways. Featured on the Riverside Museum Walking Tour and known for its wraparound porch with decorative bracketed posts, this magnificent stately French Victorian is like no other with 10' - 20' ceiling heights. You will be in awe of the architectural detail, the impeccable condition and the elegance of this home. The majestic foyer leads to the formal living room and dining room both with fireplaces. From the dining room you will find a fabulous kitchen with beautiful cream custom cabinetry and beautiful quartz island and countertops with an adjacent warm and inviting breakfast room/library with fireplace and beautiful French doors that lead to the spectacular music/ballroom/family room with stunning terrazzo floor and breathtaking stained-glass ceiling. The conservatory/sunroom with heated marble floors presents picturesque views of the meticulously landscaped yard. Off the spacious second floor foyer you are greeted by the massive Primary Suite with fireplace, office, three walk-in cedar closets and private laundry, the second bedroom en suite and the third bedroom with fireplace adjacent to the full hallway bathroom. A huge walk in closet that can be converted back into a bedroom, an additional bedroom, full bath and a large cedar closet can be found on the third floor. The finished basement with a separate exterior entrance features a full second kitchen, laundry, half bath and storage. This beloved home is one of the original homes built in the Village of Riverside which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The unsurpassed natural beauty of greenery, wooded trees and the Des Plaines River, are unparalleled. The Village of Riverside is the product of the landscaping creativity and philosophy of the eminent landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux and is just a 7 minute walk along the serene views of the Des Plaines River. Riverside is located 9 miles west of the Chicago City Center and is easily accessible via Metra and the Interstate. Convenient to Midway, the Interstate and Brookfield Zoo.
