Description

Wheaton's 'Seven Gables Mansion' reimagined with casual elegance! This extraordinary home has been extensively renovated and updated with grand sized rooms, rich architectural details and a wide back yard that flows seamlessly into the massive Seven Gables Park. Designed by architect Jarvis Hunt, the Jacobethan-style house was built in 1897 by a Chicago Golf Club member as a summer home and then was renovated from 2017 until 2022. Now it's time to write a new chapter in its storied history. With two kitchens and a broad floor plan, the home is ideal for large-scale entertaining. The front hall and front staircase have hand-carved original wood, along with a large front window. Just off the kitchen, the grand dining room has a fireplace, while the large living room has a beamed ceiling with intricate architectural details and an adjacent fireplace nook with leaded glass. The living room has both a north view and a south view overlooking the park, and adjoins a large south-facing deck. The home's primary bedroom suite is on the second floor and has a fireplace, an en-suite bath and park views. In addition to other bedrooms, the second floor has a second kitchen. Elsewhere upstairs, there's space galore, including plenty of storage and additional flexible rooms that can be used for one or more offices or for school at home. The unfinished lower level is brand-new, with 10 feet high ceilings, and the home also has all-new mechanicals and public utilities, including Lake Michigan water. Topping things off is a brand-new three-car garage with a rooftop terrace that is accessed from the front porch. The back yard has enough room for a swimming pool! Located in the highly desirable Whittier school district within Wheaton Dist. 200! Must see to believe!
