23 N Columbia St.

Take this rare opportunity to own a large, beautifully restored and expanded American 4-square in Downtown Naperville's Historic District on an oversized 89'x150' lot. Enjoy the convenience of in-town living with property you typically only find further out. 1 block to the park, 2 Blocks to Ellsworth Elementary School and only 8 blocks to the train station, shops and restaurants. 23 N Columbia was originally built in 1910 and expanded by the current homeowners to include a family room, spacious first floor half bath and owner's suite. Upon arriving you are immediately charmed by the covered porch in the front of the home, perfect for ending the day with a night cap and people watching. Guests then step inside to a large foyer and gorgeous staircase. Classic pocket doors separate the foyer and living room: a large flexible space that can used as an office, music room or traditional sitting room. The dining room is connected to the updated and modern kitchen by a large cut out and built in side-board. The kitchen offers an island with beverage center, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and gorgeous custom cabinets. The family room features: french doors to the deck; Rumford wood-burning fireplace w/ornate mantle & tile surround and surround sound. The Owners Suite includes a Rumford gas fireplace w/antique mantle & reproduction deco tiles, volume ceiling with beams, walk-in closet, surround sound, a full bath with Jacuzzi, large shower w/body sprays, heated floors and dual vanities. The original wood work has been lovingly restored including built-in antique sideboard, pocket doors, hardwood floors and ornate oak column. The additions' wood work, windows and fireplace mantles were all selected to seamlessly match with the rest of the home. Details like leaded-glass & vintage stained-glass windows, 9'ceilings and a front & back staircase make it stand out from other homes. Inside and outside space has become more important than ever in our day to day living. 23 N Columbia has a bonus 3rd floor with 1/2 bath, 5th bedroom and office space. Transitioning from inside to outside has never been so easy with the Midwest's four seasons, start with the screened in porch for in-between seasons, enjoy the large deck in the summer and cozy up by the fire in the family room when winter rolls around. The beautiful huge lot's landscape creates a backyard oasis, its fully fenced in and surprisingly low maintenance. Set your appointment today for this lovely turn of the century home.
