Description
An extraordinary opportunity awaits to own a truly iconic Greek Revival hand-cut stone mansion, a historic gem just minutes from the heart of downtown Lockport situated on a large 3/4 acre (3 lots). Steeped in 1800s grandeur and lovingly preserved/updated by its fourth owners, this architectural masterpiece blends the opulence of a bygone era with refined modern living. Every inch of this distinguished residence has been thoughtfully restored and enhanced, honoring its craftsmanship while introducing high-end upgrades for unparalleled comfort. A rare historic luxury find! Beyond the stately facade lies a sprawling main level that impresses at every turn-from the grand front foyer to the formal parlor, elegant music/living room, and a serene screened-in porch. Entertain in the exquisite formal dining room, relax in the richly appointed family room with original fireplace, or work from the stunning office (a showpiece of historic woodwork and charm) complete with a second fireplace. The fully renovated eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting custom cabinetry, premium countertops, all 2022 SS appliances, a tin backsplash, butlers pantry and a separate walk-in pantry. A full bath, laundry room, and abundant natural light complete this first sophisticated level. Upstairs, find three generous bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a spacious walk-in closet. A full bath serves the upper level, and a large unfinished walk-up attic provides limitless potential as well. The original hardwood flooring has been meticulously preserved throughout much of the home, with carefully chosen new hardwood flooring other in select areas. Additional features include a full basement offering substantial storage or expansion options and a crawl space, updated radiant heating with original radiators sandblasted and repressurized (2024), central vacuum system, and updated electric/lighting. The property's exterior is equally impressive: a four-car carriage house garage with a massive upper-level entertaining room, a brand-new wraparound driveway (2024). New tear-off roofs on both main house and carriage house aka garage (2022), and completely updated porches and walkways (2023). Comfort and efficiency are ensured with a new boiler (2017), new water heater (2025), and new water softener (2025). Several windows have been replaced as needed, or professionally restored, preserving the home's authenticity while enhancing energy performance. This rare, luxurious estate is not just a home-it's a piece of Lockport & Will County's legacy, masterfully curated for the most discerning buyer seeking historical prestige, architectural beauty, and modern-day luxury.
