Property Description

The Crown Jewel of Historic Downtown Algonquin! Nestled in the heart of town, where tree-lined streets whisper stories of the past, stands a true architectural masterpiece - a stately Victorian home built in 1886. With timeless elegance and modern comfort woven into every detail, this grand residence is a rare opportunity to own a piece of living history. Every room offers charm and character with tall windows, ornate woodwork, artistically designed hardware (check out the hinges and doorknobs), and original design details preserved with care. Of historic note is a bookcase from the John Marshall School of Law, a beautifully preserved hall tree installed in one of the bedrooms, salvaged wood from the old Arlington Heights Train Station and an antique church chandelier in the family room. Boasting seven spacious bedrooms and five beautifully updated bathrooms, the home is as functional as it is breathtaking. Enjoy a quiet cup of tea in the lovely front parlor, then gather with friends and family for holiday celebrations in the expansive dining room. Just off the west entrance, the gorgeous family room beckons with a classically embellished fireplace-perfect for cozying up on cooler nights. Continue through the breakfast nook into the chef's kitchen, featuring custom cabinets by Danish cabinetmaker Kjeld Nielsen and updated appliances to making cooking a breeze. The primary suite includes a an en suite bathroom complete with a clawfoot tub for soaking in self-care. Sneak up to the attic bonus room, a great place to hide away from the hustle and bustle of the day. Welcome guests in the spacious basement bedroom, or transform it into a cozy second family room. It is the perfect spot to gather on chilly winter days. Step into the expansive four-car garage, and you'll discover a hidden gem: a large attic above - perfect for a studio or workshop. Spend sunny afternoons in the whimsical playhouse, perfect for little ones or as a peaceful garden hideaway. Then, as evening falls, relax with a glass of lemonade on one of the welcoming porches, before heading out to enjoy dinner or ice cream at one of the popular downtown restaurants or visiting the nearby parks. This remarkable home is more than a residence - it's a story, a sanctuary, and a celebration of history. Don't miss the chance to make it your own!
