Property Description
Tucked quietly off the street, this fairytale home perfectly blends historic charm with modern updates. A cobblestone path through lush gardens and a stone waterfall lead to a stunning arched entry. Inside original hardwoods, vintage fixtures, and crystal knobs pair seamlessly with an updated kitchen, newer windows, and a reimagined first-floor primary suite. Boasting over 1,500 sq ft across three levels, plus an oversized detached garage, this private retreat is districted for award winning schools and is just a 10-minute walk from downtown Des Plaines and the Metra!
