One of the most distinguished homes in Downers Grove, this 1896 vintage beauty is waiting its next chapter. Set on an expansive double wide lot (120' x 165') at the corner of Highland and Lincoln, the home is framed by majestic, mature trees and exudes timeless curb appeal. Restored in ~2000, this stately residence awaits your vision to bring it back to its full grandeur. Offering over 5,800 square feet of total space-including ~4,000 square feet above grade and a ~1,800 square foot unfinished basement with 11+ foot ceilings and full-size windows-this home is rich with opportunity. The home offers a main level home office, soaring ceilings in every room, spacious rooms throughout, elegant pocket doors between the formal Dining Room and spacious Living Room accented by striking staircase and millwork. The main level also offers a sun drenched enclosed Porch, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The upstairs Ballroom is currently used as the Family Room with views and space you are sure to love. The sky is the limit with a full, unfinished basement. Detached 3.5 car garage with finished office/storage above, plus attached 2.5 car garage used primarily for storage. The lot can be split in two. Located very close to downtown Downers Grove, the Metra Train Station, Farmer's Market, Washington Park, Herrick Middle School, Downers Grove North High School, and all that town has to offer! Truly a rare and remarkable opportunity.
