One-Of-A-Kind Victorian Farmhouse
;void(null))
Become a part of Naperville history by owning this One-Of-A-Kind Victorian Farmhouse! Originally built in 1891, it has been restored to the glory of that time. It features exquisite hand-carved arches, board-batten entryway and original hardwood flooring throughout. Some floors are even 'Birds Eye Maple'! The craftmanship is second to none!
The renovation includes complete replacement and exceeding code requirements for home's plumbing, heating, electric, etc. Upgrades include roofing, siding, gutters, gutter guards, hot water heat, central A/C, driveway and the list goes on and on! It's all been done for you!
Each of the 4 Bedrooms has is own unique and special character and the 3 full Baths offer features on your wish list. The Kitchen has the ambience of that special gathering & cooking room that kitchens were meant to have PLUS an island, walk-in pantry, coffee bar and ample counterspace and storage. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a Breakfast Nook complete with a tin ceiling, 'Hoosier Cabinet' and additional storage & counterspace. The spacious Living Room is the perfect size for entertaining your guests or to enjoy a quiet conversation. The Dining Room is able to accommodate your table with added leaves and still have room for additional Dining Room furniture. Just off the Dining Room is a Library/Den complete with built-in bookshelves.
The entry from the Garage provides direct access to the Mud Room and a Laundry Room that is a room in itself with a full sink, washer/dryer, cupboard storage and separate outside access. The Master Suite features a sitting/dressing room, walk-in closet, master bath with double shower and double sink.
All light fixtures are classic 100 years old (but have been re-wired to meet today's codes). All interior door hardware is original to the home. An oversized 2-1/2 car Garage with 9 foot doors has been added with separate entry for HUGE, HUGE Bonus Room over the Garage which has its own HVAC system (furnace & A/C). Use of this room is limited only by your imagination... absolutely perfect for a recreation, guest, craft room or possibly an art studio, office or den! Bonus Room also has direct access from inside home.
There is a stand-up, usable and lighted Cellar with inside access from the Garage. The extra wide staircase makes the Cellar ideal for a workshop and/or storage!
Sitting on .47 acres of tree-filled property, the incredible Victorian Farmhouse splendor is showcased with a wrap-around porch that has a complete encompassing deck with a swing and an inviting entertaining area. This is a rare opportunity to live in a truly amazing home where the present embraces the past! You will appreciate the love, care and attention to detail that went in to your new home!

History
Over 177 years, the House has had many tenants, mostly of an extended family of Mungo Patterson. It could be said that this was true even to the present day, as Virginia Meisinger is a distant cousin of the Boughtons.Comments & Feedback
