Description from owner
Description
The Davis Victorian Farm house is an 1892 landmark home. It is located in beautiful Glen Ellyn, known for its quaint down town and Vintage Homes. We are also minutes away from Wheaton, home of Wheaton College. The Davis House is located on a very quiet cul-de-sac. Set back from Davis Terrace, its front garden adds to the grandeur of this beautiful home. Steps from Babcock Grove Park as well as Lake Ellyn Park. This wonderful home was just featured in a movie which was completely shot on location!
The home has a front porch, deck and a woodland patio for relaxing and enjoying this amazing nature sanctuary. An incredible place for outdoor entertaining. Central to all of the wonderful out door spaces is the fountain courtyard. The soothing sound of the flowing water can be appreciated all most every where near and inside the house. The large European kitchen has a LaCanche triple oven stove, one of many European imports. The large French Farm table seats 6. There is a library directly off of the kitchen. A grand piano graces the music room which has French doors overlooking the large deck. Most of the lighting has been imported from Europe. The turret of the house enables you to see all four directions from the parlor or upstairs Master bedroom sitting room. The master suite also has an ensuite bath with large walk in rain shower and separate Ultra Bath Whirlpool. The south facing windows fill this room with lots of natural light.
The home has many original features and has all hardwood floors on the main level. In the family room you will find the fireplace and large Plasma TV with surround sound. The home is nestled amongst large trees and beautiful gardens...truly a wonderful place to call home while visiting Historic Glen Ellyn and neighboring towns as well as Chicago and all that it has to offer

The Davis House was the perfect setting for our family the weekend of our son’s wedding. We enjoyed the perfect kitchen and outside spaces for the weekend in April. The rain shower was amazing! … More

Response from the owner We assure you that our #1 goal is for you to have a memorable and comfortable stay at the Davis House. All of our beds are of high quality and we use only high thread count linens. Our library which was originally a bed room can serve if needed as a 4th bed room.At the time that these guests were there one couple slept in the King bed in the master. For the other 5 guests there was 2 single beds, a queen and a full. As we are only a phone call away we have gladly brought in a hotel roll away bed to accommodate another guests. There was also 2 single Aero beds for them on the premises. Our collections are for our guests to enjoying seeing and an important part of the homes charm. Our lighting is mostly European or antiques and all of our lighting works. We do leave replacement bulbs in case they are needed. Our kitchen is quite amazing with our LaCanche triple oven stove. Our sink is great as it is a soap stone Farm sink over looking the Fountain courtyard. Our staircase is original to the house and normal for an 1892 Victorian Farm House. It has 3 landing steps and the original hand rail all the way up. To view more reviews please go to VRBO. The Davis House is an amazing place and we look forward to having as our guests! Yours Sincerely, William Harty,
