*Multiple offers received. Best and final due on Tues 5/12 @ 6pm. Must include pre-approval if applicable* Completely reimagined from the ground up, this stunning home seamlessly blends timeless character with modern luxury. Originally built in 1868 and fully renovated in 2020, nearly everything is brand new- offering the feel of new construction while preserving its history and charm. This spacious two-story residence features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and over 2,200 square feet of above ground thoughtfully designed living space. The open-concept main level is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, highlighted by rich French oak hardwood floors, custom wood beams, and expansive black-framed oversized Marvin windows that flood the home with natural light. At the heart of the home is a designer kitchen equipped with high-end Bertazzoni appliances, quartz countertops, a striking waterfall island with leathered granite, custom tile backsplash, and large pantry with floor to ceiling shelving creating a true chef's space. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a private retreat complete with a vaulted ceiling, a custom accent wall, and a large walk-in closet. The spa-inspired bath features a freestanding soaking tub, custom-tiled shower, dual vanities, and a separate washroom. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and second-floor laundry provide both comfort and convenience. Additional home highlights include a welcoming front porch spanning the width of the house, custom window treatments throughout, first-floor den with glass barn doors, and basement for recreation and storage. Outdoor living is enhanced by a spacious deck, fenced-in yard, garden, and patio. The spacious newly constructed 3-car garage includes a 240-volt electric car charger. Ideally located within walking distance to Metra, CTA, shopping, and dining-and just minutes from I-290-this home offers the perfect combination of accessibility and local neighborhood charm.
