Wonderful opportunity to own this historic, 1890's Olympia Fields farmhouse on almost 3/4 of an acre located near the mature trees and winding trails of Elliot Woods and Spirit Trail Park. The owners believe the home was rehabbed roughly around 2008, before they owned the home. Yet, the charm of yesteryear permeates including the outside fish scale accent and welcoming, old-world, covered wrap-around porch. Entering the front door into the foyer opens you to a lovely, well-sized 18ft living room with can lighting, plenty of windows, hardwood flooring, and 6-inch ornate baseboards. Move seamlessly into the formal dining room with more hardwood floors, can lighting, 9ft ceilings, and bayed triple-window. The huge 21ftx14ft country kitchen will not disappoint with its 42-inch maple cabinetry, Brazilian cherry floors, breakfast bar island, sleek black appliances, and sliding glass door to a huge 16ftx12ft deck overlooking gorgeous, endless greenery. The first-floor half-bath is updated nicely with a comfort-height vanity and attractive glass-tile backsplash. The 2nd floor presents 3 well-sized bedrooms including a master bedroom with walk-in closet and bayed window, bedroom #2 with hardwood floors and double-closet, and a large bedroom #3 at 14ftx14ft. The full bath has gorgeous granite flooring and shower-surround as well as a whirlpool tub. Shall we keep going? For the adventurous buyer, how about a 38ft long walkable 3rd floor attic for storage with a 17ftx15ft area to maybe finish for an office? But the real treat is your huge front and backyards with many beautiful plantings and vegetable/fruit gardens. Walk to the back of your property on the bluff to see the creek and pond below and then enjoy a nice fire at the stone firepit, perhaps a quiet talk at your carved-log picnic benches, or even a swing on "the ol' tire" hanging from these huge trees' limbs! A few other notes include newer windows throughout, newer roof, 2 furnaces & 2 central A/C units (zoned for efficiency), a 2-car garage with concrete driveway, and located just minutes from the Metra. Come see this beautiful home and its stunning lot. You won't be disappointed!
