FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET IN 60 YEARS. Romance and history thrive in this classic American colonial set on two-thirds acre in East Glencoe. Beyond the elevated brick walls lie serene gardens, swimming pool, pond, and brick gardener's cottage with an attached greenhouse. Noted for its "simple handsome design and beautiful classical entrance porch" (Glencoe Historic Commission), highlights are grandly scaled rooms, distinctive architectural details, hardwood floors, a sky-lit bridal staircase, and 5 fireplaces. The striking reception hall is flanked by a paneled library and formal living room. The dining room with French doors opens onto a brick screened porch. The eat-in kitchen, butler's pantry, laundry, and au pair suite complete the main floor. Four spacious bedrooms and 3 full baths altogether with the master bedroom suite are all on the 2nd floor. A long cedar hall adjoins to guest quarters over the 3-car attached garage. Sold as-is. Incredible potential. Make it your dream home!
