This stunning Beverly home is rich in Chicago history and charm. Located on a large lot with a separate side lot, this home was built in 1927 by the Hetherington Family and once owned by Al Capone's personal banker John Bain, among other notable figures. Over 5, 000 interior square feet features grand entertaining rooms including a sunny sitting room with arched windows, wood-paneled library with built-ins and wood burning fireplace, original ceiling beams, plaster detail, leaded windows and iron staircases. The updated kitchen has in-style natural wood cabinets, stone counters, stainless steel appliances and a lovely breakfast room. You'll find an abundance of storage in the original butler's pantry plus extra walk-in pantry. 4 large bedrooms in the main house are located upstairs with a separate back staircase leading to a wonderful guest, nanny or office suite above the oversized attached garage. The lower level has an additional recreation room, office, 4 storage rooms, work bench and laundry areas. Lovely grounds, formally a Beverly Garden Walk winner, has original stone walls and horse entry gate. This grand home is extremely bright and welcoming from the front terrace to back gardens. Dual zoned space pac, new hot water heater and boiler systems, slate roof and copper gutters. A true beauty in a wonderful North Beverly location!
