Property Description
Nestled on a spacious corner lot in Glencoe, this exceptional three-story home is a rare architectural treasure where history, craftsmanship, and livability come together in perfect harmony. Filled with warmth and character, the residence showcases stunning stained glass and beveled glass windows throughout, along with custom carved detailing and one-of-a-kind architectural features that give each room its own special moment. Offering 5 bedrooms plus two additional rooms ideal as offices or flexible guest/bedroom space-perfect for working from home-the layout provides remarkable versatility. The elegant living room is a true showpiece, featuring heavy oak beams and a hand-carved fireplace mantle designed by famed architect George Maher, and it flows into a sunroom wrapped in stained glass; both spaces feature pegged wide-plank oak floors. A large dining room with plank flooring and two stained-glass bay windows sets an inviting stage for gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen, thoughtfully designed with the cook in mind, includes Sub-Zero refrigeration, numerous back-lit stained glass cabinets, and a uniquely carved beveled-glass pocket door opening into a warm and welcoming family room. The primary suite offers built-in cabinetry and closets, along with a large full bath featuring an enclosed shower, whirlpool tub, pedestal sink, built-in medicine cabinetry, and linen storage, plus an additional private half bath with custom vanity. A cozy TV/game room with built-ins provides a comfortable spot for relaxation, while additional finished rooms across the three floors allow for a dedicated exercise room or hobby space. Comfort is paramount with a whole-house electrostatic dust collection system, humidity control, four-zone heating with newer boiler for clean and quiet warmth, and whole-house two-zone air conditioning. Outdoors, enjoy a beautiful garden with auto sprinklers, a greenhouse/atrium with UV lighting, a large attached storage room for gardening and bikes, and a two-car garage. Loaded with charm, warmth, and everyday livability-and truly exceptional for both entertaining and working from home-this lovingly maintained architectural gem offers a lifestyle that is timeless, inspiring, and uniquely special. A security system adds peace of mind to this extraordinary home.
