1905 Modern Farmhouse with 2019 mechanicals & rehabbed down to the studs. 1 block from downtown & 2 blocks from train! Owner hates to leave what they built as their forever home, but a job relocation is your opportunity to get into the prestigious Libertyville Heritage area. Thoughtfully expanded by 20' on all four levels, this extraordinary home was completely renovated to the studs, including all major mechanicals, structure, wiring, plumbing, & HVAC. A true labor of love, historic character has been meticulously preserved & seamlessly blended with today's finest craftsmanship, systems & amenities.Original millwork, hardware, fixtures, & architectural details were carefully restored wherever possible, w/ every renovation decision reflecting the home's soul & modern living. The gracious foyer welcomes you with an original leaded-glass window, restored corner cabinet, deep closet, & clever pull-out storage beneath the stairs. Original bronze cast doorknobs, handrails, & fluted newel posts-stripped & refinished-tell the story of the home. Hickory prefinished floors flow throughout, complemented by a hickory staircase handcrafted by local artisans.At the heart of the home is a stunning kitchen featuring custom Vida soft-close cabinetry and a showstopping 14-foot island w/ grayed cabinetry, white quartz counters, prep sink, seating for 5, & glass lantern pendants.
