Two additional tent/cottages were added in 1907/8. The current owners purchased the residence in 2001 and are the first owners outside the original Grove family; they have retained the Biblical sayings on some of the beams. The house is a stained glass lovers' dream boasting: 34 stained glass windows, 28 hanging stained glass shades, 17 glass doors, and 4 stained glass ceiling fans. The 1907 blueprint is available, showing those additions as well as a number of photographs showing how it looked earlier in time. * * * The current owners added the 30 by 36 foot addition to the home; renovated the kitchen and bathrooms; replaced one HVAC system (2022); added insulation and new gutters with leaf filter system, expanded the wraparound porch space, and added a back-up generator. They added a Trex deck with a new hot tub covered by a pavilion with clear curtains for winter, screens and curtains for summer. * * * The Town of Washington Grove offers 100 acres of parks and forest preserves, a private lake, wonderful community events and spirit, and is within walking distance of the Marc train, and close to metro, I-120 and the ICC. * * * Enjoy the warmth and history of this home, while living in a historic town, with a slower pace, surrounded by nature. The house has been painted and refreshed and is ready for its new owner.
