Location: Oak Park, Illinois
My husband Michael and I just purchased this 1892 gothic victorian home in outlying Chicago’s historic Oak Park. (land of Frank Lloyd wright and Ernest Hemingway’s birthplace.) I own a jewelry boutique called Gem Jewelry Boutique and Michael is a general contractor. The home is perfect with it’s nearly 10 foot high ceilings and elegant moulding, original marble fireplace and gothic windows.
