About This Home
As of November 2016The original house dates from 1855. A stone & wood addition was built in the 1920's by the Wilson Brothers of Geneva, This construction added a bay window, a fireplace, & wood paneling to the original house. The addition comprised of a gallery with exposed stone walls & French doors leading to a flagstone patio, a third bedroom, & an additional bathroom. Subsequently, a pillar-supported covered walkway was built to connect the house with the 2-car garage. In the 1970's a second 2-car garage was built in the the SE corner of the property. It has a second story & attractive side porch facing the yard. The gutters, bay window roof, & custom chimney cap are copper. The beautifully landscaped, fenced yard is private & faces south. The second garage & yard are hidden from sidewalk view by bordering yews & lilacs. There are two stone patios & a garden plot. The basement is dry with high clearance & a French door to the outside. Close to Metra, shopping/restaurants, library & the Fox River.
