Bannockburn, IL 60015

Nestled in the heart of Bannockburn, this lovely Storybook Cottage was originally built in the early 1930s by Bannockburn's founder William Aitken who was an architect and builder credited with bringing modern real estate development to the Village. Located in the desirable Bannockburn School District, this hidden gem is situated on 3.25 acres, surrounded by a variety of specimen trees, mature perennial plantings, and a flagstone-lined 0.15 acre pond - all of which date back to the original Aitken Estate. Built for perfect easy country living this property offers extra peace and quiet that dense urban living cannot provide. Many of the original features are well preserved including some of the doors, windows, and expansive greenhouse. The first level contains a kitchen, dining room, living room with a large wood-burning fireplace, laundry room, and a spacious 1st floor master bedroom with full bath. The 2nd level includes two more bedrooms, walk-in closets, and a full bath. The detached garage has room for 2 vehicles, a workshop, and a 2nd level for storage or a possible office/studio space. Minutes to shops, award winning schools, parks, restaurants, public transportation, neighboring communities, and major commuter routes.
