This home includes a 1 bed, 1 bath coach house/garage with parking for 6 cars. ----------------------- Prismed art glass windows, hand carved built-ins, and grand staircase, the craftsmanship is still clean and crisp and represents the finest of its time. The spacious parlor, living room, library and dining room are each trimmed in warm, hand crafted woods. "A description published in the local paper in 1895 calls attention to the distinct wood species used in each separate space, from curly beech in the parlor, flame mahogany in the library and a highly polished birch in the sitting room".----------------------------- Ascend the grand, open staircase to the second floor, where you'll find five bedrooms, two of them with tandems. Three of them have beautiful gas fireplaces. The third floor has a wonderful 41 x 25 foot ballroom along with three more nicely sized rooms w/closets and a full bath.

Truly a blend of all-world original details meshed with the space and flexibility today's family requires.------------------------- The home sits prominently on a corner lot voted "Best four corners in Oak Park". A beautiful block/street with turn of the century charm, walking distance to world-renowned schools.--------------- Enjoy leisurely afternoons and a cool beverage on the wrap around front porch or take short walks to Oak Park's shopping, restaurants or nearby parks.
