Description

This American Foursquare has stood proudly on this beloved block in the heart of Chicago's Edgewater Glen (which was recently placed on the National Register of Historic Places) since 1908. A sweet swing beckons to you from the picturesque porch as your approach this beauty. Enter the welcoming foyer to admire the intact rosebud-themed stained glass windows, oak floors and moldings. Gather around the living room's woodburning fireplace. Drift into the formal dining room that's crowned with oak beams and a glowing chandelier. Stainless steel appliances shine among the eat-in kitchen's plentiful oak cabinetry and green pearl granite countertops. The former pantry was cleverly converted into a half bath. On your way upstairs, pause on the landing to admire more stained glass windows and imagine your artwork gracing the tall walls. Hearty hardwood floors lead you to four bright and beautiful bedrooms. A spacious shower is the star of the second floor's bathroom. Appreciate the original built-in linen cabinetry in the hallway and swell storage throughout this enchanting home. Climb the stairs up to the attic or down to the basement to find unfinished spaces to suit your dreams. Delight in the professionally landscaped backyard's two-tiered deck, tidy paver walkways and one-car garage. For nearly 50 years, this family has loved living here, enjoying legendary block parties and strolling to nearby beaches, restaurants and shops. Now you're invited to become part of Edgewater Glen's storied history. Welcome home! Sold As Is.
