Have you ever pulled up to a house, and say, "That house will be my home some day!" Well, today is that day! One look at the pictures of this home will tell you how well loved this home has been taken care of throughout the years! This classic 1925 Blue Island home was once featured in a 1998 episode of the TV Show Cupid. As you take the steps up the front entrance you will appreciate the classic look of the home with the enclosed front porch that features original wavy glass. Enter the front door and you will appreciate the fine wood laminate flooring that look like the original hardwood, and classic architecture of the era! The Dining Room is the original heart of the home! But the Kitchen! The Kitchen is now the centerpiece of the property! With its modern cabinets, granite countertops and recessed lighting to enjoy for years to come! There is even a bonus sitting room off the kitchen that is perfect for those in need of a home office, or studio. The upstairs features three large bedrooms with HUGE closets for the era! The remodeled second full bath on this level is sure to please! There is a full unfinished basement that allows you room to add even more livable space for the future. The backyard features a pergola and deck area to enjoy the quiet peace of nature. The roof was totally replaced in 2020, along with the furnace and central air. The Kitchen is but three years new! The HWH is brand new in 2023. Many of the windows have already been replaced for added insulation and cost savings! Truly a gem of home located in the most historic section of Blue Island!
