Fantastic American Four Square with a two story addition – located on an amazing block of single family homes – less than a mile, and about a 15 minute walk to the Blue Line and Metra stops on Montrose! The perfect blend of original charm combined with many updates make this home ideal for today’s contemporary living. From your relaxing front porch, you’ll enter the the home and be greeted by a spectacular oak staircase and gracious entry foyer. Gather family and friends for conversation in your oversized living room. Dine or entertain in the spacious dining room with stained glass window accents.. Each room features gorgeous original oak trim and crown mouldings that exude the craftsmanship of a bygone era, and the hardwood floors were just sanded and refinished! There’s even a pocket door that you may want to restore! As you view the home, be sure to seek out the original leaded and stained glass windows! The updated kitchen has plenty of cabinets, stainless appliances (about 5 years new) and granite counters. The kitchen includes an ideal space for your breakfast table & chairs or home office. Go ahead and plan a spectacular Fall Housewarming Party! Entertaining will be a snap as the kitchen opens into the Family Room addition and also flows onto the spacious rear deck! Four large bedrooms and a beautifully renovated bath are located on the second floor, and the walk-up attic is just waiting for your finishing ideas – perhaps a home office or primary bedroom suite? One bedroom, currently used as a home office, is tandem to another. The semi-finished basement has a full bath, an ideal work room, laundry, abundant storage, and space previously used as an artist studio. There is definite value-add potential there! The Roof is a tear-off 6 years new! Beyond this block and its amazing neighbors (and Block Party!), you can stroll to the Portage Park itself – featuring ball fields, tennis courts, outdoor pool (site of the 1972 US Olympic Swimming Trials), dog park and a wonderful Farmer’s Market. It’s just 2.5 blocks to the west! Finally, there are restaurants, coffee shops, and much, much more all along Irving Park Rd. and Milwaukee Ave.! What are you waiting for? Call me today for a showing!
