Welcome to the prestigious George Lawrence Home, a masterpiece of historical elegance and modern luxury, nestled in the heart of Galesburg, IL. Built in 1897 and recognized as a registered historic landmark, this extraordinary property has been lovingly restored to preserve its rich heritage while offering the finest in contemporary living. From the moment you step onto the property, you'll be captivated by its timeless charm, complete with impeccably landscaped grounds, a stunning 18' x 36' heated inground pool, and a beautifully secluded backyard surrounded by a 7-foot cedar and vinyl privacy fence. This architectural gem has undergone a comprehensive renovation by skilled craftsmen from across the Midwest, seamlessly blending original details with top-of-the-line amenities. The main residence boasts over 10-foot ceilings on all three floors, a modern elevator, and meticulously restored woodwork, including maple, cherry, alder, and quartersawn oak trim. With 78 windows-most of which have been replaced with historically accurate Marvin windows-the home is bathed in natural light, highlighting the exquisite craftsmanship throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring high-end alder and mahogany cabinetry, luxurious soapstone and Danby marble countertops, and an Officine Gullo cooking suite, all complemented by a spacious butler's pantry. The second floor offers three generous bedrooms, each with its own private bath, including an opulent master suite with his-and-hers bathrooms, marble floors, custom cabinetry, and a relaxing slipper tub. The third floor is a versatile space, perfect for a play area or additional living quarters. Every corner of this home is adorned with luxury finishes, including hand-carved wet bars, plaster ceiling motifs, and designer lighting fixtures by Schoenbeck and Visual Comfort. In addition to the main house, the estate includes the original stone carriage house, fully updated in 2020 with new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. The carriage house's second floor features a beautifully appointed living space with a full bath, bedroom, and art studio, offering endless possibilities. The two newer garages, meticulously designed to replicate the historic aesthetic of the home, provide ample heated space for vehicles, workshops, and storage, including room for car lifts, catering to auto enthusiasts. No detail has been overlooked in this spectacular estate. From copper gutters, slate roofs, and custom carriage doors to a whole-home sound system, reverse osmosis water filtration, and a full-house generator, this home marries historic beauty with modern convenience. The George Lawrence Home is not just a place to live-it's an extraordinary lifestyle experience, a rare opportunity to own a piece of history that has been thoughtfully enhanced for today's discerning homeowner. Truly, this is a home where every detail speaks to elegance, comfort, and timeless sophistication.
