Description

Discover this rare opportunity on the East side of Kenilworth. A beautiful 1908 family home in the Arts and Crafts style sits on a 97 x 175 lot. Leicester Road is one of the three roads to have been completely rebuilt 2 years ago with new sewers, curbs and permeable paver bricks. You enter the home from the bluestone porch to a foyer which opens to spacious living room with fireplace and attached sunroom. Across the foyer is the Dining room with two walls of windows providing ample sunlight. The Kitchen was remodeled by Kitchen Classics of Wilmette in 2005. It features custom alderwood cabinets, soapstone counter tops, Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Wolf gas cooktop. In 1996, a spacious Family room was designed and constructed by Benvenuti and Stein, featuring a large fireplace wall with herringbone brick pattern, custom moldings, beams and a heated floor, all done with quarter sawn oak in the Arts and Crafts style. A wall of windows and French doors open to a double bluestone walled patio and gardens. A new rear entrance, Mudroom and stairs leads you to a custom finished Rec room, complete with pool table and shuffleboard. An original oak staircase leads you to the second floor. The Primary bedroom and en-suite bath connect to a private Home Office remodeled in 2006 by Kitchen Classics. The Second bedroom uses a large bath/dressing room complete with shower and large tub. There is an additional sitting room adjacent to the Primary bedroom which could also be used as a nursery or to enlarge the Primary. On to the third floor where you will find two twin bedrooms, a large storage or study/game room and a remodeled full bath. Outside there is a two and a half car detached garage and spacious yard. This property is also listed as land for someone wishing to build their dream house and recognizing the scarcity of sites available. The property is listed AS IS.
