Property Description

Rarely offered Stately Georgian Mansion designed by the architects Childs and Smith in 1921 for the William F. Oatman Family. This home is on the National Register of Historic Places. The home is located in West Dundee's Historic District approximately 45 miles from Chicago. The home has had only three owners in its nearly 100 years. The second owners were not very good custodians and actually turned the home into a nursing home. In 1975 the present owners purchased the home and meticulously restored and improved the home over the last 44 years. It is ready for its next chapter with a new family to take it into its second century. The exterior of the home is constructed of beautiful brown brick and limestone with architecturally significant details of wood. The lot measures 150 feet by 120 feet and has mature trees that lend shade and privacy to the property. You enter the home via an elegantly detailed vestibule into the columned Great Hall/Gallery. The grand staircase takes you up to the second floor private spaces of the home. Formality clearly defines the use of this home. Bedrooms are all located on the second level. From the Great Hall you can enter the Dining Room, Living Room or the rear hall that connects you to the Library, Kitchen and leads out to the Porte Cochere side entry. The Library's original wood paneling and book shelves were beautifully restored. It has a classical marble mantled wood burning fireplace. The Kitchen was completely redesigned from a very utilitarian kitchen with separating walls for the breakfast room as well as the butler's pantry. It now has a modern kitchen that compliments the home and speaks to a more modern way of living. It includes a breakfast room as well as a food pantry and Butler's pantry. The kitchen granite floor is heated which allowed the removal of old bulky radiators. Room sizes are all beyond the norms of today. From the kitchen you enter the Dining Room which is ample to accommodate a table for 12 with room for a sideboard and cocktail table and has an array of French windows looking out to the patio. The living room measures 28 feet by 19 feet easily fitting sitting areas as well as a baby grand piano. Centered in the living room is a massive elegant wood burning fireplace. Adjacent to the Living Room is the heated Sun Room surrounded on three sides by French windows with panoramic views to the rear yard and garden. It still has the original clay tile floor which created a very pleasant atmosphere that lends itself to relaxing or reading a book. Off the Kitchen and rear hall is another stairway that leads to the finished basement as well as the second floor. The First area of the basement has been setup as an exercise room. The high ceilings and the array of windows make this a room a perfect place for a workout. The rear stair leads up to an interim level which was originally the maids' quarters but now has a laundry, sewing room and a half bath. You continue up a few more stairs to the second floor level before continuing up to a spacious finished attic that can be used as a family media room. This attic was always finished and habitable in the architect's original design. There is an additional room off the family room that can function as a kitchen/bar to support that areas entertaining. The second floor level accommodates all five bedrooms with one of the guest bedrooms having its own heated porch and of course a massive master suite. All plumbing has been updated to copper water piping and new pvc drain piping. The first level is air conditioned using SpacePak so not to destroy any of the architectural details and significance of the design. Interior finishes include hardwood floors throughout all three living floors. Bathrooms are all restored and upgraded with natural stone tile selections and incorporate classical inlaid detailing in keeping with the grandeur of this home. Much more to see at a showing of this significant classical home.
