In the heart of the historic village of West Dundee, with a view of the Fox River, this stunning home welcomes you with modern upgrades throughout while keeping the character and charm of a Queen Anne Victorian Gothic manor from 1886. 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths home sits on a large lot only a few blocks from downtown and one block from Grafelman Park. Entering past the elevated wraparound porch, welcome your guests in the beautiful foyer and make your way through the lovingly restored first floor: taking in the original hardwood floors, hand hewn seven foot Michigan Red Birch trimmed living area walls, elaborate crown-moulding throughout, a stone hearth wood-burning fireplace of the parlor room, seating nook, stain-glass windows, built-in bookcases, and hidden storage spaces. Enjoy the company of friends and family throughout, host your party in the dining room filled with light. Modern conveniences are throughout the updated eat-in kitchen including stainless steel appliances, new cabinets and quartz countertops. Additional bright and private bonus room/office completes the main floor. Upstairs, you'll find an updated bathroom, large hallway linen closet (with laundry hookup), 4 generous bedroom sizes-including a primary suite with its own en-suite bathroom and a large walk-in closet. The third-floor attic offers additional storage space currently with a built-in cedar closet, or an opportunity to finish for an additional bedroom or working space. In the basement, trust you've never seen one like this: currently fashioned as a stone-wall surrounded World War II era bunker and wine cellar/ poker room, but there's plenty enough room for a truly unique hobby space, with adjoining workshop area and access to the attached two-car garage. Outside, you'll find more spaces for entertaining, a detached Model-A garage/shed, a large patio seating area and plenty of room to gather around a fire. This home is truly one-of-a-kind. Originally built by Andrew F. Chapman, listed and plaqued on the National Register of Historic Places and the Dundee Historic Society, this home has an extensive past with a number of former residents (Chapman, Haeger) playing an important role in the history of Dundee.
