Simply stunning Craftsman home in DOWNTOWN NAPERVILLE, has been meticulously restored and enriched with modern luxury amenities. Originally built for one of Naperville's first physicians atop "Quality Hill," it has been cherished by five families, each leaving their unique imprint while preserving the legacy of its visionary founder. It took two years to build this dream home using top materials and superior construction and is showcased with a full brick exterior, classic Craftsman features include long overhangs, exposed beams, and porches adorned with leaded glass art windows. Inside, an effortless flow characterizes the layout, complemented by timeless millwork, 9-foot ceilings, original wood flooring, and doors adorned with mirrors and glass knobs. Contemporary and period lighting enhance the space. Seamlessly blending past charm with present-day elegance, the home showcases a brand-new Chef's Kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line Bertazzoni and Bosch appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinets, and an Avallon beverage cooler. This inviting space, complete with a cozy eating area, serves as the heart of the home and offers direct access to the expansive 10,000+ square foot fenced backyard, featuring a deck, patio, and a two-car garage. The grand foyer anchors the expansive first floor, offering uninterrupted views throughout. Essential for modern living, the main level comprises a spacious living room with an original brick fireplace, a sunroom flooded with western light, a family room with a charming beadboard ceiling and heated floors, and a generous dining room featuring original glass wall panels and lead glass pocket doors. A concealed passageway leads to a hidden main-floor office and powder room. A backstair case provides easy access from the kitchen to the second floor, featuring four true bedrooms, including one ensuite, all enhanced with added millwork, new lighting, and fresh paint. The primary bedroom features a crystal chandelier, ample storage, and a custom wardrobe. A luxurious hall bath boasts marble accents, basketweave flooring, and bespoke cabinetry. The original sleeping porch has been transformed into a sunlit second office or flex space, while a cozy loft offers a perfect reading nook, adorned with original cubbies and a built-in linen cabinet. The partially finished basement adds versatility with a recreation room, full bathroom, secret room, a laundry center, extensive storage and direct exterior access. Updated electrical, plumbing, central air, and an efficient boiler system ensure modern comfort. Outside, a detached garage with wood ceilings, new doors, and loft storage adds convenience. Ideally located within the award-winning Naperville SD203, just a short stroll to the train, downtown Naperville, and parks, this home offers timeless charm and modern luxury. Not in the Historic District. Vintage homes like this are more than just structures; they are woven into the fabric of our lives.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
