You'll be impressed the minute you step onto the amazing screened front porch. You'll fall in love upon entering the historically elegant foyer where you are greeted by a dramatic staircase. Warning, a calming presence may fall over you as you realize, this may be your next place! This is a rare and unique tudor home with a perfect blend of thoughtfully restored vintage details and modern enhancements. Walking distance to the award winning elementary school, downtown, train, library and pool. Located on a quiet historic block, this amazing 289' deep lot backs to the Great Western Trail and is close to the Illinois Prairie Path. There are 3 impeccably renovated levels of living space. Over 8 total rooms, 3 bedrooms, 1st floor powder room and a full bathroom on each of the other 2 levels. The charming but large living room has a beautiful wood burning fireplace and built-in bookcases, just around the corner from the equally charming formal dining room that will take you back in time with its antique light fixture and all rooms featuring gorgeous hardwood floors. The dining room flows into the updated kitchen with a restored antique stove and sink. In 2016 a family room addition was masterfully designed to fit the era of this home and was added just off the kitchen. It is bright, airy and relaxing and has access to the deck, which at 10 x 16 is ideal for entertaining. The deck overlooks the backyard which is equipped with a gazebo. Affectionately called the "summerhouse", the gazebo has a built-in brick fireplace. A perfect place to gather and enjoy the great outdoors in any season! Back inside, the 2nd floor has a very large master bedroom, 2 nicely sized additional bedrooms and an updated full bathroom. Downstairs to the lower level, the finished English basement has another full bath, large bonus room, office space, laundry room and 2 closets (including a cedar closet) and space for storage. If a Norman Rockwell painting of a home came to life... this would be it! All you need to do is move-in and call this historic gem home! Live here and make it a wonderful life!
