Walk to a coffee shop around the corner or just down Ashland to the dining and nightlife of Madison Street. For an easy ride into the city, it's less than one mile from the Metra and blue or green CTA Stations. Restored original vintage charm and installation of all the modern amenities make this house a dream come true. Open the front door to a natural foyer and a view through the home and into the backyard. Natural light pours in from every window in the home with sun from morning until night due to the Eastern and Western exposure. Through the foyer, walk into the living room with a bay window and gas fireplace and into the massive dining room. French doors lead into a library/study overlooking the backyard. The kitchen feautures a heated floor and has it all: hand selected Brazilian granite, double ovens, a 5 burner gas range, microwave drawer, garbage disposal, garbage compactor, deep sink, double drawer dishwasher, reverse osmosis and tons of custom cabinets. Upstairs you will find all of the bedrooms. The primary bedroom faces the front of the home with an en suite bathroom. The other 3 bedrooms are on the other side of the home offering great privacy. There is an extra surprise on this floor! There is an attic room accessed from the hallway through a hatched door and a custom built-in ladder. This room is a kid's dream! It's great for hiding out, sleepovers, an artist's loft, or anything you can imagine! If this wasn't already enough space, let's take a look at the basement. The basement is half finished. It is currently being used for storage on one side and a rec room on the other. The gated driveway spans the whole lot (150 feet) with plenty of space for recreation and basketball games. This backyard has it all and is fully fenced! Vegetable and herb gardens, low maintenance perennial and native landscaping, a playset, and paver patio with plenty of room for a large patio table. The garage is not your normal garage. To start, it fits 2 cars and then has an extra 5 feet of storage. Make your way to the 2nd floor of the garage to find a custom sound-proofed music studio that could be a second office or home theater room. Imagination was put into full use when designing this home! Pride of ownership shows with all of the major updates recently completed: 2021 hot water heater, 2020 house roof, 2019 Pella wood windows, 2017 music studio, 2016 furnace and AC, and 2016 Garage roof.
