If you're a fan of Chicago bungalows, don't miss this lovely, restored red brick, 2-bed/ 1 bath home situated in The Villa, an historic Chicago neighborhood. The bright, spacious living room is flooded with light from 5 large windows overlooking the professionally landscaped yard. Warmly colored, thick terra cotta tiles and a wood burning fireplace provide the focal point for this living space. The separate dining room features large windows with plenty of room for entertaining. The kitchen boasts maple mission style cabinets, some with glass and mullion accents, a custom-tiled peninsula countertop for gathering in comfort and a tastefully restored walk-in pantry. The bedrooms are generous; the primary bedroom easily fits a king-sized bed. Both bedrooms have spacious walk-in closets. The large back porch overlooks the back gardens, with brown wainscot panels and a quiet ceiling fan above for those hot Chicago afternoons. The walk-up attic is unfinished, but ready to grow into should you wish to extend your living space. This home has been treated with TLC by the same family for 28 years. Complete rehab down to the lathe and plaster in 1995. Wood trim throughout the house has been restored to its original glory. So many recent updates as well, including a brand-new roof, copper risers, overhead sewer, hot water heater, tuckpointing and a new pantry. Just steps to the Addison Blue line and a 7-minute walk to the Metra train to downtown or Ravinia. Many fun shops and restaurants nearby. Architecturally, The Villa neighborhood is exclusively prairie-style bungalows situated in a lovely four-block triangle.
