Shaded by mature maples on a large fenced lot, this graceful, circa 1926 colonial has been carefully restored and updated by the owners. A documented, Honor-Built Sears catalog home, known as the Rembrandt model, it maintains the original eight over one windows, hardwood floors, trim and 2-panel doors throughout. While recent additions to the home have brought modern conveniences, extra care was taken so that new elements would blend with the original architecture, including details such as salvaged vintage doors and hardware.
Restored french doors line the foyer where the open, refinished banister leads to the second floor. The home has four bedrooms with the original built-in window seat in the master bedroom, and three baths and a first floor powder room. Granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances were recently installed in the kitchen. An airy breakfast room and family room open to a full-view screened porch, deck, and large flagstone patio with a restful water feature. This is a perfect family home with its large, private yard and close proximity to schools, train and downtown Glen Ellyn shopping.
