Inspired by Jesse Wheaton (circa 1898) as a summer retreat for prominent Chicago Golf Club members, this historic gem was designed and built by renowned Chicago architect, and a founding member of Chicago Golf, Jarvis Hunt. Today we'd refer to the early occupants as power couples, but in 19th century parlance, they were of Society. This impressive home has been masterfully reimagined, more than doubled in size, and combines the timeless elegance of beautifully preserved architecture with the modern amenities of an active family home. With over 6500 ft2 of living space spread out over four levels; it features 6 bedrooms, 5.1 baths, 5 fireplaces, a paneled office, and ample space to entertain both family and the gathering of cherished guests. Unsurpassed in beauty and resting high on nearly a half-acre of private park-like setting that includes artfully landscaped beds and a bluestone terrace and firepit for outdoor entertainment. The tranquil and breezy screened porch is a perfect escape from life's hectic pace on any summer evening. The heated garage provides ample storage and space for four cars. Since the late 1800's, what is now known as the Golf Lane Historic District has been coveted for its quaintness and cherished for its neighborly atmosphere. To this day, planned social events throughout the year keep this tradition strong. Steps from the Illinois Prairie Path and walk to award winning schools, parks, downtown Wheaton, and train.
