A rare opportunity to own the historic Reuben Aldeen Estate, offered for the first time in 30 years. Set on 11.36 picturesque acres - with TWO homes and multiple garages - this lovingly maintained property also includes an additional 2 acre buildable lot, all sold together as one extraordinary offering. The primary residence, built in 1945, spans approximately 10,000 square feet of interior living space yet maintains an inviting, comfortable feel. The home features 6 bedrooms - 3 ensuite - 5 full bathrooms and 2 powder rooms. Thoughtful renovations have been completed over the years, most recently a kitchen upgrade in 2022. Expansive gathering rooms flow effortlessly into more private retreats, while multiple fireplaces throughout add warmth and character. A separate finished basement for each wing houses the mechanicals and offers additional storage. The basement in the south wing is a flooded with light and features a walk-out to a generous patio with views of surrounding nature. Well water and public sewer. Vermont slate roof. The second home, originally constructed in 1937 and fully renovated in 2024, adds flexibility and value. At approximately 1,800 square feet, it offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a wood-burning fireplace, making it ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. City water, and public sewer. Composite slate-aesthetic roof. Both homes are irrigated with well water. An Olympian Caterpillar generator, powered by Nicor gas, provides full electrical service to both residences in the event of a ComEd outage. The grounds are equally compelling: a large detached greenhouse, pond, creek, substantial stone outdoor cooker, and two detached garages are all included. The expansive acreage presents endless possibilities: gardening, recreation, entertaining, hosting events, and even future development - or simply enjoying the privacy and natural beauty of a property with true provenance. Country tranquility meets immediate access to the many conveniences and amenities of urban living. Opportunities like this are seldom available - and rarely offered as a complete estate. Sold "as-is".
