A true Grayslake treasure, this 1895 Victorian, home to the first Mayor of Grayslake, is without question one of the most exceptional homes in the Historic District. Rich in character and timeless architectural details, this remarkable residence beautifully blends historic charm with an elegant, thoughtfully updated interior designed for today's lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the craftsmanship and warmth that only a home of this era can offer. Inside, sophisticated updates complement the home's original character, creating spaces that are both inviting and refined. The kitchen serves as the heart of the homes, a fabulous butler's pantry, and effortless access to the backyard, perfect for entertaining indoors and out. Situated on an extraordinary half-acre lot, the grounds are every bit as impressive as the home itself. Mature trees, exquisite landscaping, and breathtaking perennial gardens create a private outdoor sanctuary, all enclosed within a beautifully fenced yard. Jaw-dropping in-ground pool offers a permanent staycation. Expansive driveway with porte-cochere leads you through to huge detached garage. Located just steps from downtown Grayslake, parks, restaurants, shopping, and the Metra, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while enjoying every modern convenience. Homes like this seldom become available-and this one truly stands apart. WELCOME TO GRAYSLAKE!!!
