For Sale by Owner! No Realtors. The first time we walked into 1203 Scott Avenue in April 2019, we knew it was going to be a good fit for this chapter of our life. Something felt right…it felt calm, peaceful. Fast forward to the present day and one of our favorite things about our house is the way the sunrise lights up the porch and living room each morning as we drink tea or play with our kids. Sometimes we see deer in the front yard or listen to the birds. This home has become our sanctuary. A little about the house: Inside: overall, our house has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. It is historic in the front and updated in the back. The original part of the house (the front part) has two bedrooms, a full bathroom (with jacuzzi tub), access to a huge attic with lots of potential, living room, dining room, porch, unfinished basement (also a lot of potential), and kitchen. The newer part of the house (the back) extends the kitchen, then has four steps down to a utility/mudroom with access to an extended two car garage, and another bedroom and full bathroom. The kitchen is big enough for dance parties and has become a second living room for our kids - a place to do art, run around, and cook/bake. Outside: the house sits on just under half an acre, so there’s space for a multitude of activities: gardening, landscaping, setting up obstacle courses or playing long toss with your kiddos, stretching out on a hammock. Whatever you do for fun, for peace, or for purpose, there’s more than enough space to do it all here. There is also a back patio for lounging and grilling. Additionally, a major portion of the backyard is fully fenced, so dogs and/or young kids are free to safely roam. On the side of the garage, there is an extra concrete parking space large enough for a camper/RV/third vehicle. Another thing that we love about our house is that because of the amount of land there is, there’s plenty of space between the houses on either side of it. The neighborhood: we’ve become friends with many neighbors on the block (don’t worry, we plan to host a BBQ to introduce you!) - they know our kiddos and have helped us in a variety of ways including plowing our driveway, shoveling the porch and sidewalk, raking leaves, lending us LEGO sets, and sawing random pieces of wood for various projects. Our neighbors are one of the things we will miss most about living in this house. We feel cared for in this house and in this neighborhood. Speaking of the neighborhood, there are two great playgrounds/parks within a couple blocks. 1203 Scott has been a cozy and positive place to raise our young kiddos for the last four years. We will be sad to move on, but we know that moving closer to our families who live in Chicagoland is the best choice for us in this upcoming chapter. If you’ve read through all of this and it feels like this house may be a fit for you and your family, message us what part of this description resonated most with you. We would love to open our home to you to see if it’s a match. We will share all the quirks and stories without feeling the pressure of Realtors around. We also have a lawyer already paid for and ready to go for an August closing date. Also, we will add a one-year home warranty through American Home Shield as well as an oven credit of $750. ***Lastly, if this is something that is important to you, we are a scent-free, non-toxic household inside and outside. If this is not important to you, then just disregard :) Logistics: we will be showing our house on Saturday, June 24th by appointment only. We have the following blocks of time set aside: 9am-noon and 3pm-5pm in 30 minute increments.
