8450 Kedvale Ave., Skokie, IL 60076

1st time on the market. If where you live is important, this one checks that box. This stately, all-face-brick Georgian home oozes curb appeal and is located on one of the prettiest tree-lined streets in sought after school district 73.5/219. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home was well-built with lathe and plaster and has been enjoyed by the same family since 1939. It is immediately apparent that this grand dame spacious home has provided years of happy holidays and entertaining friends and extended family. There is a traditional floorplan with hardwood floors everywhere except kitchen, baths, den and basement, formal living and dining rooms with bay windows, grand fireplace with gas logs, large den/sitting room and half bath on the main floor, 3 bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, partially finished basement with cedar closet, screened-in porch leading to the huge professionally landscaped back yard with oversized aggregate block patio and detached face brick garage with electric opener. The house has copper cladding over the bay windows, has been tuck-pointed, well insulated, weather proofed. The roof has architectural shingles, oversized gutters and downspouts and there is a flood control system as well. Now is the time for new owners, rehabbers, builders or contractors to bring their creative ideas, dreams, and personal touches to this lovely home. Conveniently located near schools, parks, commuter buses, the Skokie Swift, restaurants and stores.
