A picket fence, charming front porch, beautiful landscaping and 'walk everywhere location' provide an idyllic setting to welcome you home . The impeccably preserved vintage finishes combined with modern updating perfectly blend nostalgia with today's conveniences and lifestyle. Main floor offers a flexible floorplan with a formal living room opening to the family room, both with gleaming restored historic millwork, nine foot ceilings, vintage hardware, and beautiful hardwood floors. The kitchen has lots of light (natural and custom), glass-faced cabinets, a farmhouse sink, and granite countertops, which opens to the vaulted ceiling dining room and spacious wrap around deck. There's a main floor laundry room and a stunning fourth bedroom, with fireplace, presently used as a perfect office, with adjacent newly updated full bath featuring a steam shower.

The front porch and large deck are perfect for relaxing or entertaining. There's a paver driveway and a two car garage, all within the fence, making the yard perfect for pets too. Walk to school, shopping, dining, playgrounds and the Metra train. Enjoy this slice of history, while basking in the luxuries of a fully updated home.
