If these walls could talk, oh what a story they would tell... There's so much history, in this one-of-a-kind stately home, barn and .75-acre lot in the historic, Heritage district of Grayslake! This home truly represents the grandeur of Grayslake past but with all the modern conveniences of today! Style, tradition and attention to details are captured throughout the home, in the original door knobs, the stained glass, the wavy window panes, the bells on the doors, spoon carved details in the wide trim and a beautiful original staircase. All renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms were done thoughtfully to keep the charm & character of the home intact. 4 bedrooms with 2 full and 1 half bath. 4th bedroom is such a cool room on the 3rd floor. There is an office attached to the Master Bedroom suite, along with a custom walk-in closet with organizers and a antique built-in cabinet. Hardwoods floors throughout the 1st floor. Modern kitchen with exposed brick, tall cherry cabinets and stainless-steel appliances. The main floor enclosed porch, overlooking the front yard, is the seller's favorite room. It's so comfortable and cozy. The detached barn acts as a 2-car garage but, also has a second-story bonus space in the loft area that could easily be converted into an art studio, a music room, or an office. The chicken coup is also in the back of the barn, and, yes, you can have chickens here! The yard is absolutely to-die-for!!
