Moreover, you are surrounded by prestigious universities and world-renowned museums, immersing you in the rich cultural tapestry of the area. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, this home boasts updated mechanics that ensure functionality and peace of mind. The roof was replaced in 2017, the sump pump in 2022, and a Dunkirk boiler was installed in 2018. The windows were updated in 2002, a 50-gallon Rheem hot water tank was installed in 2022, and a 200 amp circuit breaker was added in 2008. The basement features a 7' ceiling height, providing additional space for storage or potential living areas. Embrace the heritage and craftsmanship of Prairie Style design, characterized by clean lines, natural materials, and an emphasis on harmony with the environment. This home is not just a place to live, but a statement of your personal style and appreciation for architectural excellence.
