Rebuilt in 2011, this rare and distinguished 1915 Craftsman is one of the most striking homes in Naperville's historic district, offering views of Central Park and the downtown skyline. Currently configured as a two-unit, income-producing residence, it could also be restored to a grand single-family home. Reinstating the original window in place of the second entry door and creating an opening to the foyer would reconnect the main floor with the second-floor staircase. The extensive reconstruction included the roof, windows and mechanical systems, preserving the home's original character while delivering the craftsmanship and comfort of modern construction. Just steps from downtown shopping and dining, Central Park and the Metra, this exceptional property offers an incredibly desirable location and strong investment potential. The home offers 3,973 square feet of finished above-grade living space, including 1,504 square feet on the main level and 2,469 square feet on the upper level. An additional 768-square-foot unfinished basement brings the total area to 4,741 square feet. A brick paver walkway and manicured, tiered landscaping lead past stone pillars to a deep, covered front porch framed by classic columns. Each residence has its own private entrance. The covered front porch and two second-floor balconies offer inviting outdoor spaces, with sweeping views of downtown Naperville. A secluded paver patio at the rear provides an additional outdoor retreat. The first-floor residence features an inviting front porch that opens to a light-filled, open-concept layout. The kitchen offers island seating, while oversized display windows brighten the family room. The residence features two spacious bedrooms, with historic character and modern finishes throughout. The second-floor residence, the larger of the two units, is designed for everyday living, elegant entertaining and cozy nights at home. The spacious kitchen features an island with seating and an open layout with ample room for a large dining table. Oversized display windows brighten the family room, while a bar area and custom-built, two-story library add distinctive character. The loft provides additional living space or the potential for a future bedroom. Both balconies capture views of Central Park and the downtown skyline. Laundry is conveniently located on the main level of the second-floor residence and in the lower level of the first-floor residence. Opportunities to own a home of this distinction in Naperville's historic district are rare. Schedule your private showing today.
