Have you ever wanted to live in your vacation home year round? Rarely available, this is one of the premier expanded cottages in "a town within a forest". Built in 1900, the home has been thoughtfully expanded over time by prior and current long time owners. The charm: classic gingerbread details, a large front porch, tons of stained glass, wood floors, two wood stoves, combine with skylit rooms and a stunning primary suite addition. The huge living room, separate dining, large charming table space kitchen, first floor bedroom, full bath, den, sun room, craft room and wood shop are all on the main level. Upstairs is the primary bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and the primary bath and two other bedrooms and a hall bath. So much beautiful flexible space. The front porch, the slate patio and extensive gardens, including a huge fish pond, make this special. There is off street parking for several cars in front of the house. With 100+ acres of forest preserve and parkland including tennis courts, baseball fields, playgrounds, a dog park and a private swimming lake in the woods, Washington Grove is an oasis. Come live where there are lots of town events and traditions and community spirit abounds. Conveniently located within walking distance of the MARC train. The Shady Grove Metro, I-270, and the ICC are also nearby.
