Step into timeless elegance in this beautifully restored Chester Park home, where classic character meets thoughtful modern updates. Fall in love with the darling enclosed front porch, then enter through a warm and welcoming entryway adorned with newly installed William Morris wallpaper—a striking nod to the home's historic roots. The kitchen is a cook’s dream, featuring granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, gas stove, and double wall ovens. Just off the kitchen, enjoy a brand-new composite porch—perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The main level also includes a formal dining room that flows into a large but cozy living room with a newer gas fireplace, creating a perfect space for both entertaining and relaxing. Upstairs, discover three inviting bedrooms with charming details, peekaboo views of Lake Superior, and a porch off the primary bedroom for your own private retreat. The renovated full bathroom blends vintage style with fresh, modern finishes. The lower level adds even more functionality with a new drain tile system, 200 amp electrical service, a new furnace, and ADT security wiring. A vintage bar remains intact, complemented by a spacious family rec area and generous storage space. Out back, a two-car garage sits off the alley, accompanied by a brand-new asphalt parking pad. Beautiful perennial gardens guide you from the parking area to the home’s rear entry, adding a splash of color and serenity to your everyday experience. This home is a rare blend of character, comfort, and convenience—perfectly nestled in the heart of Chester Park. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a true neighborhood gem!
