Charming Lakewood Balmoral shingle style farmhouse on extra wide 35' lot on lovely block! Beautiful front porch opens into gracious foyer with restored original details: leaded glass windows, oak hardwood floors, original wood trim and high ceilings. Double parlor style living room with separate dining room. Sunny maple cabinet kitchen with white appliances opens to professionally done sunroom addition that is ideal breakfast room, playroom or giant mudroom. Sunroom's masonry foundation means possible 2nd floor master suite bump out potential. 4 beds and 1 bath up. Large, full hall bath was recently renovated with step in subway tile shower, marble top vanity and hex tile floor in keeping with the homes vintage style. Full, dry basement with 7' ceiling. House has "great bones" and with a little TLC could be move-in ready, but for most buyers will need renovated to meet the area's standards. Big upside once you are done...house next door sold for 1.55M post rehab on same size lot. Entire exterior was repainted in the last couple of years, roof is good, many newer replacement windows. Huge, sunny backyard with gorgeous Gingko tree and raised beds for your veggie garden! Feels like a little farmhouse in the city! Lovingly maintained by the same family for 56 years and it shows! Very solid, but family is selling "as-is". Walking distance to all of Andersonville's cafes, boutiques and restaurants. Under 5 minutes to Berwyn "L", CTA, lakefront beaches, bicycle paths and parks! Easy Access to Lake Shore Drive and I-94. Pierce School!
