Property Description

Introducing a rare opportunity to own a true architectural treasure in La Porte--the historic Alfred J. Link Mansion. Built in 1909, this grand all-brick Queen Anne beauty showcases over 4,000 square feet of timeless elegance across three impressive levels. From the moment you step through the stately entry, you're greeted by a sweeping grand staircase, soaring 9-foot coved ceilings, rich hardwood floors, intricate original woodwork, and stunning leaded glass windows that speak to the home's storied past. Designed for both refined living and unforgettable entertaining, the main level features a spacious living room with a gas fireplace, an elegant dining room complete with a built-in buffet, dramatic chandelier, and pocket doors for added privacy, as well as a distinguished library lined with built-in glass barrister bookcases. The expansive kitchen artfully blends Victorian charm with modern convenience, even offering a private elevator to the second floor. Upstairs, you'll find five generously sized bedrooms and two full baths, while the newly remodeled third-floor attic serves as a luxurious primary suite retreat--complete with a private sitting room, full bath, and walk-in closets. Additional highlights include a rear servant's staircase, full unfinished basement, attached two-car garage, heated front steps, and a welcoming open front porch with removable screens for seasonal enjoyment. Adding to its exceptional appeal, this property also offers tremendous income potential for investors, as it is currently operated as a single-room short-term rental generating approximately 46,500 annually. Proudly positioned on a corner lot in a prime location just 50 minutes from Chicago, this extraordinary residence offers the perfect blend of historic character, modern comfort, and timeless grandeur.
