Property Description
Discover the timeless charm of 4040 Grand Ave, a historic, 1874 Victorian that seamlessly blends classic elegance with modern amenities. This home boasts an iconic mansard roof, once a lookout for sea captains' wives, now a striking architectural feature. Step inside and be captivated by the 11.5-foot ceilings, exquisite millwork with hand plaster detailing, and period fireplaces that exude character and timelessness. The stately foyer, adorned with a stunning mahogany rail, sets the stage for memorable photos on weddings, holidays, and special occasions. Natural light floods the open layout, enhancing the spacious rooms and high ceilings, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, this home preserves its architectural integrity with quality materials. Noteworthy features include beveled glass French doors, hand-milled cove moulding, leaded glass transoms, custom kitchen cabinets with rope molding, JennAir appliances, and double beveled granite countertops. The home offers four bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, while the main level includes a study, living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, laundry room, and powder room. Classic hardwood floors, a full unfinished basement, and deck access from the family room complete this stately residence. Located in the highly desirable Old Town section of Western Springs, this home is just moments from downtown and award-winning schools. As impressive as this home sounds, it's one you truly must see to appreciate.
