Lovely 4 bedroom, 2 bath brick bungalow with a 2-car detached garage! Beautiful curb appeal with newly installed window boxes on corbels and locally sourced limestone borders on the garden beds! Enter from the front porch through the refinished antique front door with beveled glass to the sun-filled living room with gas fireplace and stained-glass windows. Enjoy the refinished flooring in both the living room and dining room with stripped, sanded, and refinished original trim, including crown molding, fireplace mantel and new antique doors and hardware added to the fireplace cabinet. All stained glass was cleaned and repaired. Vent covers were stripped and plated as well as convenient cedar shelves added to the front hall coat closet. On the main floor, also find 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a fully applianced sunlight filled kitchen, 2 enclosed porches and easy access to the deck. Double your living space with the updated and finished basement offering a direct exterior access door, 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a family room, storage, and laundry with a separate sink. The unfinished attic is accessible by staircase and awaits your finishing designs! Most of the first floor was painted and new window treatments and light fixtures were added. In the past 5 years, many new windows were added, including egress in one of the basement bedrooms, a new shower in the basement bath with a transferrable warranty, laundry sink, Electrolux washer and dryer, kitchen refrigerator and stove, seamless gutters, solar panels, and a new electrical panel! Entertain on the back deck and relax with a glass of wine while enjoying the extensive landscaping improvements including the vertical planters by the garage and many new perennial plantings throughout the yard as well as a green friendly compost bin. Soil from the front garden beds was replaced with compost, sand, and peat. The soil was lab-tested and is suitable for edible crops. The 2-car garage is convenient for off street parking or can be used for special hobbies and additional storage. Looking to insulate your investment against the ramifications of climate change, i.e. flooding? A Permaseal system with a lifetime transferable warranty has been installed and it includes drain tile around the entire foundation, sump pump and back up with wi-fi monitoring, sewer check valve and vault installed in the front yard to make sure that the city sewer line doesn't back up into the basement. Does any other home you are considering have an extensive system like this with a transferable warranty? Suburban living, centrally located just blocks to Metra with easy access to Chicago, parks, schools, and local restaurants! Owners have made extensive improvements and wish they could stay - but they are pleased to offer the improvements to the next owners!
