On one of Elmwood Village’s very best blocks, right near its center, this 1893 Craftsman offers priceless original late-19th century woodwork and artistry, yet has been thoughtfully renovated to 2022 convenience with quality materials and period-correct yet modern, efficient fixtures and finishes. From the high-ceilinged, bright and airy, newly-remodeled “cooking and gathering” kitchen and two new baths, plus tasteful upgrades to two other baths and several other spaces inside and out, it’s a fantastic combination of old and new. Even the porch is new, and the front and fully-fenced back yards have been professionally re-landscaped for all-year enjoyment. The large, 3-car driveway and 2-door garage mean there’s no need for to hunt for street parking or storage! The woodwork and craftsmanship in the house are mostly original, and quite simply stunning. Forced air heated and central air conditioning are available throughout the house as well, with a natural gas furnace and water heater in a large, clean, full-size basement with updated electrical and plumbing in 2020-21. 2018-19 high-efficiency gas chimney-venting fireplace is mounted in original fireplace enclosure in front room. The 2021-completed bright, spacious cook’s kitchen is right off the dining/family room, with custom granite countertops, 16-gauge 33” stainless farmhouse/apron sink with 3-way pull-down sprayer and heavy-duty garbage disposal, energy-saving LED lighting from both subtle recessed and traditional Schoolhouse pendants, and thermostat-controlled radiant heat tile floors (in kitchen and also in main bedroom ensuite bath). In addition to the custom-made (locally) multi-wood butcher block island, the kitchen features new Tuscan Hills custom cabinets, KitchenAid 25.8 cu. ft. stainless, 5-drawer French-door refrigerator/freezer, plus dual-power Gas/Electric range with double-oven, matching-finish convection swing-out microwave and 3-rack super-quiet and effective dishwasher. Mudroom and stairs out back to garage area are all-new, as are the kitchen’s energy-efficient windows and sliding doors to back patio. All new, yet traditional-design lighting fixtures have been installed in three main first-floor rooms as well as entryways, outside and on the spacious rear half-wrap fence-enclosed and treated-cedar deck to nicely re-landscaped backyard. Even the powder room off the kitchen was updated with new matching floor tile. More renovations inside include re-built Main bath with walk-in 2-handled tiled shower and all new fixtures, Tuscan Hills vanity topped in granite and adjustable-temp, resilient heat porcelain tile floor, plus energy-efficient privacy window in Main and rebuilt Hall bath as well. Tiled Hall bath features a large Tuscan Hills vanity with custom granite top, huge wall mirror, two sinks and new lighting and bath fixtures throughout, including a deep rectangular tub and 2-handled shower. Both bathrooms have motion-sensitive light and super-quiet and efficient fan combos, configurable as desired. The Craftsman front porch was rebuilt in 2020-21, and this classic home has space for family and guests to spread out in its 4 bedrooms (and two baths) on the second floor. Three of these run from very spacious to large by modern standards and the last is still large enough for a full-size bed and more – or could double as an office or extra-large walk-in closet. The partially-refinished third floor/attic includes a surprisingly large, open staircase, bright windows in every room, and ample ceiling height in most rooms, including a huge recreation/media room, a large former bedroom, full bathroom and light, airy workroom re-wired as an office in 2021. Loads of convenient storage can be found in nearly all rooms – and there are even convenient new plugs installed outside for auxiliary electrical needs. This home has it all - a beautiful, bright and comfortable oasis in all four seasons!
