This historic Queen Anne sits at the corner of quaint Glen Ellyn Place and Park Avenue in the heart of town. Built in 1892 for two sisters, Ina and Annie Gauch, the home is surrounded by mature trees and old-fashioned perennial gardens, which are overlooked by a second story porch and a Juliet balcony. Front and back porches, painted in historically accurate colors, provide shaded views of the neighborhood. Vintage interior details include original bulls-eye trim, doors, hardware, fireplace, and hardwood floors, as well as a graceful oak and walnut stairway, which has been carefully restored. A modern kitchen features crisp white cabinets and new appliances, and high-efficiency heating and central air have been installed. In addition, a cheery sunroom provides a cozy winter retreat. With 3 bedrooms, a den or 4th bedroom, two and one-half baths, this home is perfect for raising a family as it is within blocks of Glenbard West High School, downtown shopping, the commuter train and beautiful Lake Ellyn.
