You have dreamed about this for as long as you can remember, and now, at last, it is real. Dressed in a gorgeous red brick, this 1919 Craftsman Bungalow features 4BR/2BA with formal living and dining rooms, plus kitchen with pantry. From your first steps into the foyer you will find the original design brilliantly preserved. Frame windows have been painstakingly restored, glorious oak floors, crown molding, and trim have been meticulously cared for and polished to perfection. The wood burning fireplace awaits sweater weather in the fall. Exquisite original brass and porcelain fixtures remain, along with a magnificent chandelier in the dining room, where the 100+ year-old hutch and corner curio have aged with grace. The bathroom features porcelain sink, lav, and free standing tub, the kitchen has had original maple floors refinished, the pantry is replete with built-in cabinetry and fresh, white shelving. Two generous bedrooms on the main include a primary suite that overlooks the rear gardens. Upstairs, the attic has been finished with rebuilt stairs, brilliant skylights, and two loft-style bedrooms, plus under-eave storage, and original plank flooring. Downstairs, the fantastic height of her original wood beam construction allows plenty of light from working frame windows, the space is prime for your design, and includes root room, built-in storage space, laundry room, mechanicals, workshop, and a full bath with modern fixtures. Stepping outside onto the custom-built porch, a sweetness you don't often see in the city - a charming cedar henhouse and sunny perennial garden with fresh berries, vegetables, and herbs, along with paver patio perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, and recreation. The original brick carriage house has been updated with an automatic door to accommodate more modern transportation devices. Radiant heat, 100AMP electric, newer HWH. New concrete front to rear. Recent tuck pointing at main and garage. Premier location, walking distance to the Brown line at Kimball, Metra, I-94, and LSD at Foster. Beautiful parks and recreation at nearby, award-winning elementary, high school, and university campuses, plus Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club and Tre Kronor, as well as world cuisine options all within reach. This is the one you have been waiting for.
