All the boxes are checked: effortlessly stylish and fashionable classic farmhouse captures the essence of both the urban vibe and rural charm. Superb location, location, location. The wrap around front porch (new floor boards 2020) beckons you to sit and have a morning coffee or an afternoon respite and watch the world go by. Large, bright and functional kitchen has been thoughtfully planned out offering loads of built in storage with rich cabinetry, granite counters, center island, wine cooler and stainless appliances. Both baths have been updated (2020). First floor bedroom has conveniently accomodated working from home. Upstairs laundry (washer 2020, dryer 2022) is opportune. Cedar back deck has been redone(2019). Located just off kitchen makes it ideal for year round grilling. Lovely backyard oasis with mature trees, lush landscaping, paver paths and patio, including an outdoor fireplace and sound system! Fully fenced yard (2020,2022). CAC (2018), chimney tuckpointed (2021), ducts cleaned (2021). Bonus 3 car garage with party door and pull down stairs for walk-up to attic storage with electricity. Now for the location that cannot be beat: walkability to CTA Blue and Green lines and Metra station, all the shops at Lake/Harlem (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods etc.) and of course, the numerous dining establishments and night life on Madison Ave.
