Looking for a home with history? Then this is it! What history, you ask? This home was the original farmhouse for the last family that sold land that is now known as the Arlington Park Racetrack and will be the future home to The Chicago Bears. It was moved to this location in about 1926 with rolling logs pulled by horses. It now features a tasteful blend of a timeless vintage historic home with today's modern conveniences, has had only 4 owners in its life, and is in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Arlington Heights. As you enter the screened-in porch of this large meticulously taken care of vintage and historic home, you'll want to sit in the chairs and stay awhile. You'll enter the home in the large formal living room with maple hardwood floors and tall windows bringing in lots of light from the outside. From here, a set of French doors lead you to the first-floor family room or you can go through another doorway from the living room to the oversized separate dining room with more tall windows. The Kitchen was modernized and enlarged and now features a lot of cabinets, table space for an eat-in kitchen, and access to the deck overlooking the backyard patio. The family room is ample in size and even has a nook with a custom built-in desk - perfect for the home office or homework area for the student in your family. The 2nd floor has 3 generously sized bedrooms including the main bedroom bathroom ensuite with a walk-in closet and large shower (updated in 2019) and a 2nd full bath (Updated in 2019) for the other two bedrooms. And there is an unfinished 3rd floor that is ready for you to finish as additional living space (currently used for storage. The basement has a laundry room, a fitness area, a large workshop area, and several storage nooks. The garage is 3 cars wide with 2 overhead doors and the driveway can fit at least 6 cars. This home sits on a spectacularly landscaped corner lot that is larger than most (Over 10,100 square feet of space). You'll want to spend time in every part of this property. It's also in the trio of TOP-RATED desirable public schools; Olive, Thomas & Hersey, and the location couldn't be better. It's 1/2 mile to the Arlington Ridge Fitness & Swimming Center (ARC) and the public library and 1 mile to the downtown Arlington Heights shops, restaurants, parks, Metra train station, and the festivals and activities happening throughout the year. Make this a "must-see" on your next home tour. Additional information on the history is available in the home.
