Here is your chance to buy the perfect Chicago-style bungalow imved with four spacious bedrooms on the second floor! Furthermore, this home has a gorgeous deep and wide entertainer's backyard with a horizontal positioned brick four car garage that shields the alley noises and lights creating backyard bliss. Many don't realize that this wonderful house nestled in one of South East Evanston's most sought after neighborhoods is within the Lincoln and Nichols attendance area. In addition to this, the home has a self contained one bedroom in-law apartment with a private entrance, an updated full kitchen, dining room, living room, full size bathroom, and a deep closet. Those are some facts, but once the heavy oak door glides open and you step into the foyer, you will immediately respect the old world craftsmanship and "spare no expense" mentality that went first into building the home and then the care taken throughout the decades to maintain the original architectural beauty while also modernizing the home tastefully. Turn left and plop down into a couch at the end of the day and peer up to see the open plan dining room with its elegant built in hutches, original moldings, and extensive woodwork that are enhanced by solid warm hardwood floors. The kitchen is a smart design that any home cook would appreciate and the carefully selected newer luxury stainless steel appliances and the well maintained classic Wolf cooktop fit the esthetic to perfection. The kitchen opens to a spacious breakfast room with panoramic views of your greenspace paradise. Within that view and located next to a tanbark play area that is ready for your ideas stands a mature oak supporting the "neighborhood famous" classic tree-house that is now ready for a rebuild to suit your dreams and cement future memories. As you head back toward the front of the house you will discover another closeted room perfect for an office or guest bedroom. Continue along to find another room well suited for a study or family room. Upstairs, you will be amazed to find four true bedrooms, a large common area and a central walk in closet. The house has a newer architectural roof, chimney, gutters and downspouts (2017), well equipped kitchen and laundry room both with newer appliances(2020), and a monitored alarm system. You will enjoy being tucked away on a tree lined street yet close to the CTA, the Metra, the beach, and Main Street/Chicago Ave. shopping and dining.
