Description
Striking home, short walk to Uptown and Metra, has a fascinating history. Once a one-room schoolhouse, then a blacksmith shop, before the turn of the century (the last one!), under the current owners, this home has grown and changed over the years. A wood burning fireplace, flanked by dramatic windows, is the focal point of the living room. Bright, open dining room has newer, custom built-in buffet. The efficient kitchen has a garden window, and is open to a cozy den, with a second wood-burning fireplace and built in media suitable cabinetry. Both rooms overlook the back yard. A full second floor was added in 1992, doubling the square footage. Master bedroom has private balcony, skylight, walk-in closet, and full bath. The 3 additional bedrooms are all spacious, and the shared hall bath has whirlpool tub. Amazing space...please, review the floor plans! The angled placement on the lot (7,724 sq ft, two PINs, survey available in the drop down menu) allows for two individual fenced areas, for pets, gardening, and entertaining. Side yard has a new privacy fence, and the back yard facing Hansen Place has a pergola covered patio and decorative metal fence. Frontage of 72 ft on Northwest Hwy provides wide front yard, so you never feel closed in. Basement is typical for an old house, not finished, used primarily for laundry and storage. Stroll to dining and shopping, located close to the Country Club. This home is spacious and distinctive. Taxes are under protest, updates will be shared when available.
