About This Property
This is a very prominent landmark house in Elgin, rich in detail,
inside and out. It has been a favorite on the Elgin Historic House
Tour three times over the years. As a gorgeous, spacious, Queen
Anne Victorian home, this proud painted lady was the winner of the
Chicagoland Painted Ladies award in 2018. The exterior has
elaborate detail in the siding, with a handsome stone base, and
sits tall on the corner of Chicago and Liberty. The exterior boasts
a 3-story turret and 2 balconies as well as a covered wrap-around
porch. An intimate, fenced backyard has a brick patio, a sheltered
pergola for quiet evenings outside, and even a small Koi pond with
a fountain. Unlike many Victorian homes, this one does not
suffer from small rooms nor 'compartmentalism' common to homes of
this era. Instead, this home was built for a sense of spaciousness
and for entertaining. When one enters the very grand foyer, there
is a wonderfully detailed staircase to the left, with an incredible
ten-foot stained glass window and an open balustrade on the
second-floor landing with a ceiling rise of nearly 20 ft. All
throughout the house is the original woodwork, Corazon red oak
hardwood floors, and more stained and leaded glass windows. Even
the original lighting fixtures have been carefully restored for
use. The ceiling height is 9.5 feet. The prominent turret is
three stories tall, creating a unique space in the front parlor,
the master bedroom, and the attic. The third floor of the turret is
a sitting room currently being used as an artist's work room
because of the wonderful natural light pouring in from the 270
degrees of windows at the top of the house. The second floor
boasts a very large master bedroom with an attached sitting
room/office and 'his' and 'hers' closets (one of which is
walk-in!). Also on the second floor is a second very large bedroom
with a walk-in closet (with built-in cabinetry) and a 'sitting'
room area in an open alcove, as well as a third large bedroom. The
total square footage of this large house is approximately 3920,
(the assessor's square footage of 3020 doesn't include the finished
attic/third floor of approximately 900 sq.ft.) nor the finished
living areas of the basement, with a full bath. The half-bath on
the first floor has a unique, original water closet. The kitchen on
the main floor of the house has a large dining area as well as a
wonderfully efficient working area where everything you need is
within 3 steps! The working area of the kitchen boasts 11ft butcher
block counters with a lovely view of the walled garden at the back
of the house and tons of storage space! With modern appliances and
room for 3 people to be working at once, this kitchen still retains
a sense of rustic charm. And like many old Victorians, this has a
back staircase The walk-up finished third-floor attic has two
bedrooms and a family room. The plumbing goes to the third floor to
accommodate a future bathroom. A large basement has a bath, two
finished bonus rooms (currently used as a workout room and
yoga/movie room respectively), a cold room, a workshop, a workroom,
and storage. A two-car garage has a second level, with loads of
storage space, that is accessible from a service door at the rear.
Newer features include - a new gas service line in 2022;
new cement work on porch and walkways in 2022, a water
heater and kitchen counter in 2021; an exterior award-winning paint
and wood restoration in 2018; new double-hung storm windows and
screens in 2018, a new roof in 2016; a new 3-car driveway in 2015;
new electric panel and wiring (200 amp in basement, 100 amp on 3rd
floor). Also recent are plumbing improvements and a rebuilt, lined
chimney. The sewer line has been routinely rodded for proper
maintenance and the home appliances and systems have been
continuously maintained by a Sears Master Protection plan for the
past 30 years. As the cornerstone of Elgin's historic
district, this house is easy walking distance to trains and
cafes.
