Nestled in the heart of Southeast Hinsdale, this remarkable residence at 208 East 6th Street epitomizes perfection, timeless elegance, and historic charm. Perfectly located near town, train, restaurants, shopping, Oak Elementary, HMS, and Hinsdale Central, this home offers unparalleled convenience and luxury. Designed by renowned architect Benjamin H. Marshall, it boasts exquisite architectural features that have been meticulously renovated and maintained, preserving the old-world English Tudor characteristics. The brick exterior, sourced from old Madison Street in Chicago, and the original red terracotta tiled roof are standout features. The formal English gardens, with manicured lawns, climbing roses, and boxwood hedges, are breathtaking. The property includes a 2 1/2 lane in-ground swimming pool, a 2-car detached garage with a 2-bedroom coach house, and a Sixth and Park corner lot location. Inside, the home features English oak wide plank flooring, custom millwork, carved oak ceiling beams, leaded glass windows, and intricate antique wood doors. The living spaces flow seamlessly, with a prominent staircase designed by Roberson's Ltd. of London, leading up to a beautiful leaded glass window and spacious second-floor foyer. The living room has an antique carved oak fireplace, custom built-in bookshelves, and French doors to the lovely terrace. The sun room-breakfast room with heated floors is the heart of the home overlooking the breathtaking grounds, while the formal dining room, with a striking stone fireplace, is perfect for grand gatherings. The chef's kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances, custom English pine cabinets, honed marble countertops, and reclaimed limestone flooring with radiant heating. It also features a center island with a butcher block countertop and a full butler's pantry. An elegant library, with a wood-burning fireplace and antique English pine paneling, offers a quiet retreat and a tucked away office overlooking the property has a cozy window seat built-in desk and shelving, and a private powder room. Completing this level is an old-world foyer powder room with an antique valet vanity and a mudroom with access to the garage and motor court. Upstairs, the primary suite is a luxurious retreat with a gorgeous fireplace, garden views, and a stunning marble spa bath with a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and radiant heated floors. Four additional bedrooms, three completely redone full bathrooms with Waterworks fixtures, and a walk-in linen closet complete this level. The third level offers a great space for movie and game nights. The finished basement includes a large recreation room with a brick fireplace, a hidden original wine cellar, an amazing laundry room, a powder room, and more storage. The gardens and grounds all designed by Craig Bergmann, feature a beautiful Greek key sunken English fountain garden, stone pathways, perennial flower beds, boxwood parterre gardens, and soaring trees. The front yard with its circular drive and towering trees further enhances the nearly one acre (160x277) property's elegance. This home is truly a once-in-a-lifetime offering.
