Live in your vacation home year round! Lovingly enhanced by the current owner, this 1895 Victorian is ready for you to bring it up to the next level. The skylit kitchen with a soaring wooden ceiling, exposed beams, custom cabinetry, period light fixtures and a table space and seating area was reworked and expanded in 2002. The main floor offers lots of flexible space. A living room, dining room and first floor bedroom. The custom main level full bath, also done in 2002, was ahead of its time. The original heart pine floors, custom moldings, wood and bead board ceilings, a lot of leaded and stained glass, custom radiator covers, lots of interesting built-ins, and period light fixtures through out make this one special. Upstairs are four bedrooms including a big room that faces out on the avenue. The huge wrap around porch that fronts on the Avenue is a perfect place to have dinner, of just lounge around and watch the world go by. On almost 1/3 of an acre, there is plenty of yard. The house is classic and ready for its next update. With 100+ acres of forest preserve and parkland including tennis courts, baseball fields, playgrounds, a dog park and a private swimming lake in the woods, Washington Grove is an oasis. Come live where there are lots of town events and traditions and community spirit abounds. Conveniently located within walking distance of the MARC train. The Shady Grove Metro, I-270, and the ICC are also nearby.
