Single Family Residence In Morton Grove

Steeped in rich history, this magnificent 1900 brick two-story originally served as one of the area’s earliest wayside homesteads. It is perfectly positioned in the heart of what later became Chicagoland’s legendary ’Rural Bohemia’-the roaring 1920s roadhouse and tavern district. From the exterior’s weeping mortar and historic Romanesque herringbone lantern niches, to the interior’s grand 18-foot ceilings, custom masonry arches, and dual fireplaces, this space creates an unforgettable first impression. Adding to the home’s appeal are numerous updates- including a high-efficiency wood-burning stove in the living room, a new roof, new windows, a new HVAC system, and newly replaced sewer line, providing peace of mind for years to come. The grounds are a true oasis with a rare, park-like double lot shaded by a canopy of mature soaring trees, featuring an artisan flagstone patio, winding pathways, and an established harvest of apricots, raspberries, and perennial herbs alongside ample room for seasonal vegetables. Maximizing the property’s utility, a large detached storage shed neatly houses all landscaping equipment, keeping the brand-new, detached 1.5-car garage entirely clear for your vehicle and pristine storage. Ideally located just outside of Chicago with easy access to north shore beaches, downtown, and numerous amenities, this one-of-a-kind home combines distinctive architecture, generous outdoor space, and modern updates with timeless character.
