Step into a piece of Chicago's illustrious history with the market debut of the Haweswood Estate also known as the Crete Christmas House. This remarkable property, originally built in 1923 by the esteemed entrepreneur Edward Hawes, stands as a testament to an era of opulence and craftsmanship rarely seen today. With 7,786 square feet of luxurious living space in the main residence and an additional 2,337 square feet in the beautifully appointed coach house, this estate offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of history. The main residence features 4 spacious bedrooms, 4 full baths, 3 half baths, and 5 fireplaces with approximately 2,000 square feet of unfinished attic space with soaring 16' ceilings, perfect for a grand expansion. The coach house, no less impressive, offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath, and a 4-car garage, plus an additional 1,000 square feet of unfinished attic space with 16' ceilings awaiting future expansion. Set amidst a serene wooded setting, the estate was originally nestled on 161 acres of pristine land. The construction of Haweswood spanned five years, with an array of skilled artisans-stone masons, plaster workers, tile journeymen, bricklayers, and master wood craftsmen-all contributing to its timeless beauty. The estate's hardwood floors, crafted from trees felled on the property, still gleam with the same grandeur as they did a century ago. Modern-day luxuries meet historic charm on this property. Enjoy a self cleaning in-ground pool with a hot tub, a bocce ball court, and a cabana with a bar and seating area-all surrounded by lush landscaping that enhances the natural beauty of the property. The estate's structure is as formidable as it is beautiful, with 12-18 interior and exterior concrete walls and concrete floors ensuring longevity and safety. Both the main residence and the coach house are topped with elegant slate roofs, and the original leaded glass windows add a touch of historic charm to this modern fortress. Edward Hawes, drawing inspiration from his business mentor, the legendary Marshall Field, designed this estate to be a sanctuary of elegance and a hub for entertaining. It is rumored that Chicago's most influential figures, including the notorious Al Capone, were frequent guests, making Haweswood a silent witness to countless stories of power and intrigue. The estate's five previous owners have meticulously preserved its historic charm, with original features such as hand-carved marble fireplace mantles, plaster walls, original flooring and stately columns are still intact. These elements, combined with modern amenities, create a living experience that is both luxurious and timeless. Located just a short drive from major highways, airports, and the vibrant city of Chicago, the Haweswood Estate offers the perfect blend of accessibility and seclusion.
