The lower level of this home is very unique and offers a "secret entrance" to the prohibition era speakeasy style pub with vintage bar, booth, fireplace, sconce lighting, paneled walls... if only the walls could talk- the stories they would tell! A fruit cellar, work shop, and mini kitchen area are a big plus too! A Four car garage with huge storage loft is accessed directly from the screened porch. Brand new roof 2020! To find a vintage home with the original family still in ownership is a rare treat indeed and it has many distinct characters throughout that define it! Great location only 22 minutes to Ohare Airport, minutes to I90 interchange, 5 minutes to historic downtown Elgin- This is a must see!
