8 Beds 10 Baths
| Once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a historic trophy property at a fraction of the replacement cost. Sitting on roughly 12 city lots, 2122 W Hopkins is truly one of the most unique offerings in all of the Chicagoland area. Commissioned to Architect James Roy Allen, The George W. Reed House is the premier property in the Historic Beverly Neighborhood. Completed in 1932, this Tudor Revival mansion features seven bedrooms, six full baths, three half baths, four natural fireplaces, and a coach house above the three-car garage. The lot is just under 1 acre sitting at approximately 36,000 sq. ft., aloft a corner hillside lot in the Dan Ryan Woods section of North Beverly, 25 minutes from downtown. The original owner and architect spared neither expense nor attention to detail in the construction of this stately home. Immense steel beams running vertically and horizontally from basement to attic have preserved the structural integrity and craftsmanship of this property over the years. The old-world craftsmanship and quality of skilled labor are on display through the ornate fixtures, custom woodwork, beams, arches, carved oak and walnut moldings, intricate custom plaster ceilings, moldings, and wrought iron by notable blacksmith Samuel Yellen. Beautifully landscaped grounds with mature trees and generous flower beds lead up to the exterior slate roof, detailed brick and limestone work, leaded casement windows and hand carved archways. Square footage does not include Coach House 1 bed/1 bath. Finished/unfinished square footage approximately 11,000. |
Long on going relationships are the reason I love this job so much. Being able to see someone's face light up as I hand them the keys to their very first house is what gets me up in the morning.
