On the Market: Mount Prospect Georgian Colonial
By Jean Murphy
Daily Herald Correspondent
Live in a house worthy of being featured on the annual Mount Prospect Historical Society Holiday Housewalk — twice?
This stately custom-built brick Georgian Colonial is made for entertaining and even when it is only family at home, they can entertain themselves by watching the constant stream of golfers on the Mount Prospect Golf Club’s seventh hole directly across the street.
The home, with its finished basement, lovely wood deck and built-in gas grill, two-story foyer with winding staircase, and gorgeous wood floors and woodwork, is in like-new condition.
Listing agents Nancy and Mark Kloss offer further details on this home, which also happens to be their own:
