Write a new chapter in the history of this beautiful home. On the market for the first time since 1947, this stately home is located on a double lot in bucolic, private Madison Park. Built for an attorney in 1897, this large home features 4,554 square feet above ground, eight bedrooms, three full and two half bathrooms and full, unfinished basement. The home's first owner also built the house next door, at 1310 E Madison Park, leaving large space between the buildings. As a result, this house is full of light and has lovely views onto homes' gardens. Full of historic charm and timeless beauty, this home features many vintage characteristics.On the main floor the house impresses viewers with its high ceilings, large receiving rooms, elegant staircase, vintage woodwork, oak floors and original butler's pantry. Second floor features similar quality of finishes including marble sinks while third floor, originally designed as servants' quarters has simpler finishes and features four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a second kitchen. This floor, used as a separate space, can be a great in-laws suite. Solid brick home, this property has a beautiful, south facing, limestone facade with an elegant front porch and a whimsical balcony on the third floor. The home's large side yard gives its owners plenty of space for entertaining, gardening and play while its deep lot offers enough space for a four-car garage. Owners redid the home's tuck-pointing in 2013, replaced its roof in 2017, and changed the water heater in 2018. The boiler is 21 years old and has been serviced every year. The house is being sold "as is". This unique property offers a great opportunity to create a dream home in a quiet, residential, truly perfect setting of Madison Park.
