About This Home

As of January 2021

Extraordinary double-bay, center-entry 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath bungalow on a cul-de-sac parkway. Same owners for 55 years and maintained, restored or renovated as necessary. 2,300 appx square foot, mostly open floorplan. Incredible woodwork in every curved doorway and arch throughout. Gorgeous Mediterranean fireplace and original French windows. Large living room bay is mirrored by another bay in the 1st floor private master suite. Large formal dining room. Kitchen and breakfast room are an older redesign, but have new quartz countertops. Two more oversize bedrooms on the 1st floor with a full bath. 1st floor laundry. 2nd floor has an open floorplan with 1,050 appx square feet of space and a full bath. Also, a private bedroom with walk-in closet, perfect for a master suite. 2,300 appx square feet of un-finished basement with full bath and hookups for wet bar and summer kitchen. Large yard with stone patio, firepit and raised garden beds. 2-car brick garage with 2 spaces on parking pad. 1st floor laundry. Newer (10/18) gas boiler, newer roof. New HWH. Home is functional as-is, but needs rehab or refreshing to buyer's taste - bath needs tub re-glazed but has new sinks and toilets. 2nd floor has original full bath and electricity but new sink and toilet. Truly elegant architecture in a very convenient location. 10 minutes to Metra and Green Line trains. Close to shopping, restaurants, etc.
