Property Description

Step into the timeless charm of this beloved American Foursquare, nestled in the heart of West Chicago's historic district. This three-story home beautifully preserves its character, featuring original woodwork, hardwood floors, a stunning staircase, and thoughtful details throughout. The dining room showcases a mirrored built-in buffet, complemented by a butler's pantry and charming bookcases with leaded glass doors. Two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and character, creating the perfect setting for cozy evenings and holiday gatherings. Upstairs, two generous size bedrooms, one boasting a fireplace with two closets. The updated bathroom is a show stopper, with soaking tub and separate shower. Even more, a staircase leads to a vaulted third-floor attic with skylights, offering exciting potential for a private primary suite or additional bedroom space. Outside, enjoy a generous side yard with room for gardening, summer volleyball, and outdoor fun. A detached two-car garage and additional parking complete this special property, where historic character and the opportunity to make it your own come together.
