This fully restored and updated residence is one of Wheaton's crown jewels, sitting regally on a beautiful treed lot so close to town and train! The sellers have lovingly restored this historic beauty with up-to-date amenities, (fully refreshed in 20-21) unsurpassed craftmanship and attention to the vintage details of its period significance! It has all the conveniences of a much newer home with newer plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems, while maintaining the grace and elegance of the era in which it was originally built. A stunning wraparound porch with newly finished floor invites you to sit down and enjoy a beverage on its veranda. Brand new custom designed and crafted mahogany front doors are your gateway into the welcoming foyer with its lovely staircase, custom wallpaper and a view into the cherry-paneled library, perfect for the at-home office. A gracious addition to the home expanded its made-for-today floorplan with a large family room, complete with fireplace, fabulous mantel and surround sound system. This room is open to the gourmet kitchen with incredible high-end appliances including Subzero refrigerator, commercial gas cooktop with pot filler, double ovens, warming drawer, beverage fridge and prep sink. Gorgeous new quartz counters too! Entertaining is a breeze with a breakfast bar for seating, as well as room for a large table by the south-facing bank of windows. Parties can even overflow into the airy sunroom with vaulted ceiling and tiled floor. The home's second level boasts a large primary suite with 2nd fireplace and spa-like bath that includes jetted tub, double-sink vanity, heated floor and towel bar, and large steam shower with body sprays. 3 additional bedrooms, 2 more full baths and a 2nd floor laundry center offer space for the entire family! A separate staircase from the family room provides access to the fabulous bonus room, complete with its own full bath. This light and bright space above the attached garage (complete w/full bath and beverage fridge) is incredibly flexible and could be a perfect artist's studio, craft or sewing room, exercise room, home office, playroom, media room or guest quarters! For further living space you will enjoy the newly finished basement that has an amazing temperature controlled wine cellar with glass door and an awesome area for movie watching with beautiful luxury tile flooring, sliding barn door, and surround sound system. Perfect teen hangout or man-cave for game watching! This home has a heated 3-car garage, a whole-house generator and a brick paver patio for barbeques! The comfort of today combined with the timeless beauty of yesterday is all you need to call this treasure your new home! Kindly exclude dining room chandelier.
