Description

Luxury, Lifestyle, Location! The Francis Stuyvesant Peabody House (Peabody House) has been extensively renovated and updated. Ideal location being on the fringe of downtown Hinsdale, near the Metra BNSF Train Station, shopping, restaurants, parks, The Community House, Hinsdale Middle School and short distance to Hinsdale Central High School. The Peabody House features so many flexible spaces over three finished levels plus a large, partially finished basement. Main level features a music room, library, Hoover Room/Sun Room, gardening room, and a new fresh layout from the 2002 "tune up" that creates intimate spaces while capturing the feeling of an open floor plan. The third level provides ideal quarters for an in-law arrangement, au-pair, guest, and office space. Basement features includes a wine cellar, woodworking room, exercise room, and storage. As a result of the extensive energy efficiency and conservation measures this special home consumes less than half the energy than comparable size homes in the area. Additional improvements include solar panels, radiant heated floors, insulation, triple-pane windows, electric, plumbing, exterior painting, enhanced floor plan, and much more. Magnificent grounds feature multiple outdoor spaces including a covered porch, patio, vine-adorned pergola over deck, Koi pond, raised garden beds, and bench next to the sidewalk to foster neighborly exchanges, family photos and peaceful moments. 4 car tandem, attached garage. The Peabody House is a national landmark rich in history and grandeur. Landmark classification allows owners to change any detail to the interior and exterior, except the few landmarked areas (e.g., main staircase), so enjoy this terrific home as it is offered or make your desired changes. The full history, features, and updates in the Feature Sheet will be available during private showings. Move Confidently!

    "Living on Grant Street for 30 years, I am convinced this location is one of the best in Hinsdale. Grant Street is just 5 short blocks to the Train to Chicago, 2 blocks to Blue Ribbon Award Winning Elementary Madison School, 5 blocks to the Hinsdale Middle School, and just 3 blocks north of Hinsdale Central High School, one of the best high schools in the state of Illinois! Robbins Park is just one block from Grant Street where all the kids play Soccer, T-Ball , Flag Football and Lacrosse! There is also a wonderful play area for toddlers to enjoy! Grant Street is 5 blocks to the Hinsdale Pool where you can learn to swim, be a member of the Swim Team and cool off all summer. We are just 5 blocks to town for shopping, restaurants and a world class library. Every year the 4th of July Parade comes right down Grant Street and last year we had as our Parade Marshall, Joel Quenneville coach of the Stanley Cup Champion, Chicago Blackhawks, who also lives in Hinsdale. If you are looking for a family friendly neighborhood and great amenities you will pay more for home in those communities. You get what you pay for in this safe and secure area for kids! Hinsdale has everything you could want for your kids...education excellence, safety, parks and year round recreation, churches, and transportation ease to Chicago! Enjoy Hinsdale....buy a home here ...you will never regret your decision. We never want to leave...now our grandkids come to enjoy all that we have loved with our own kids! Thanks for letting me brag about my town."
