Timeless Victorian Elegance on a Private Pocket Estate! Step through the green iron gate and follow the flower lined sidewalk to the freshly painted welcoming front porch, where this extraordinary Victorian home immediately reveals its character and craftsmanship. The front door is truly one of a kind, featuring a rare Louis Sullivan stained-glass window salvaged from Chicago's historic Garrick Theatre-a remarkable architectural treasure that sets the tone for the home's exceptional details. Inside, the main level boasts soaring 9.5-foot ceilings, exquisite crown moldings, deep baseboards, and stunning antique bronze hardware paired with beautifully preserved enamel-painted doorknobs. Stained-glass transoms above several doorways fill the home with color and charm, while large windows bathe the living and dining rooms in abundant natural light. The elegant dining room is highlighted by a spectacular Neo-Classical ceiling medallion, and the living room features a cozy gas-log fireplace accented by antique bronze sconces and other period lighting fixtures. An inviting sitting room just off the entry provides additional living space, while the sun porch serves as a bright and inspiring home office. The thoughtfully updated kitchen, butler's pantry, and laundry room were completely remodeled in 2014 and blend modern convenience with historic elegance. Features include granite countertops, updated appliances, a large center island, a double GE Cafe range, and two wall ovens-ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The full bath off the butler's pantry was also fully renovated and showcases Carrara marble flooring with a granite border. A remarkable staircase reclaimed from Chicago's Swedish Engineers Club leads to the second floor, where Hunter ceiling fans provide comfort in every bedroom. A beautifully appointed full bath with a walk-in shower serves the upper level, blending modern functionality with the home's timeless character. Throughout the home, historic architectural details have been lovingly preserved while key spaces have been tastefully updated. Outside, the beautifully landscaped half-acre grounds create a private garden sanctuary filled with color, texture, and tranquility. A raised brick patio overlooks a serene reflecting pond, while a large fountain provides soothing sounds throughout the property. The fenced backyard is centered around a spectacular heated 16' x 32' in-ground pool, complete with a freshly painted deck, charming pool house and a convenient service kitchen and bar designed for effortless outdoor entertaining. Recent pool improvements include a brand-new Loop-Loc liner (2025), new Meyco winter cover with springs, and new solar cover. Additional amenities include a one-car garage with a staircase-accessible storage loft and an attached heated and cooled workshop, offering exceptional flexibility for hobbies, projects, or additional storage. A rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive Victorian residence where historic architectural significance, thoughtful updates, and extraordinary outdoor living come together in one unforgettable property.
