27W685 Brookside Dr., Winfield, IL 60190

Nestled on a hill in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Winfield, this gorgeous Tudor home has just become available. This lovely brick, cedar and frame home is a stone's throw from the Winfield Creek and the DuPage River. It is walking distance from the Metra Train Station and downtown Winfield amenities, including the Northwestern Medicine/DuPage Hospital. The home boasts nearly 3,600 square feet of gross living space above grade and 1,498 square feet in the basement. It sits on a 108' x 104' lot. This unique residence has many updates and incredible curb appeal. Character and charm are evident throughout the home, including an original penny tile floor in the main level powder room and a 1912 Kohler pedestal sink. Though the effective date of this home is approximately 30 years old, it actually began as a large farm house built in 1916 which has since been updated with all new plumbing and electrical conveniences of a 21st Century home. In the backyard, the original 100 year old fence and street lamp still remains. Inside you'll find gorgeous oversized Cherrywood baseboards and molding complimented by the original hardwood floors throughout the main level. This home was painstakingly remodeled by John Fraser, a well known builder in the area, who with Charles Beggs built this lovely subdivision. Through the updates, Mr. Fraser retained the charm of the home's previous life, including a built in ice chest with original hardware as well as the original glass handles on many interior doors. There are 3 generously sized bedrooms on the top floor with a small 12 x7 room perfect for a home office, home learning center or a yoga room. The 1st floor master suite is large (27' x 24') with a soaring beamed ceiling, an oversized walk-through closet and a large en-suite bath complete with steam shower, jetted tub and timeless tile work. The basement includes a 2nd fireplace (gas), an exercise area, workshop and tons of usable storage space. The outside spaces offer a variety of uses. The newer 2020 concrete front steps lead to an oversized paved brick front area with beautiful perennials that line the different levels. There is a 558 square foot Trex Deck (composite) off the kitchen which leads to the hot tub that is centered on a beautiful wooden gazebo. A 2nd smaller, decorative metal gazebo balances the yard perfectly. A rooftop terrace overlooks a forest like yard complete with beautiful trees and low maintenance perennials which surround the property. The roof is brand new (2021). The furnace/AC were installed in 2020 and 2021. The two, 40 gallon Rheem hot water heaters were just recently installed with a brand new dishwasher to be installed in mid November. The list is endless.
