The living spaces are thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and functionality, making it perfect for both relaxing and entertaining, and set off with designer Crate and Barrel lighting. There is no shortage of natural light in this home with its large front bay window that includes the original leaded glass transom pane and ample space between adjacent homes thanks to the oversized lot. As you move through the first level you will find a separate room off the main living space that's perfect for an office or library, as well as a full bathroom. Moving toward the back of the house, the kitchen boasts white shaker cabinetry, new stainless steel Lg and KitchenAid appliances and a large pantry for more storage. Just off of the kitchen is an enclosed porch or three season room that leads out to the expansive yard. As you ascend to the second level, you'll discover a spacious secondary living area with exposed brick walls and an abundance of natural light streaming through skylights. This inviting space is perfect for relaxing, gathering with family, or entertaining guests. There are also three well-appointed bedrooms all spacious enough to hold a queen bed or larger. You will again find hardwood floors and wainscoting throughout the second level which adds additional warmth and a custom home feel. The full bathroom on this level has been thoughtfully updated with a new mirror and modern lighting and there is a linen closet just outside in the hall for convenient storage. As you make your way down into the fully renovated basement you will be met with a large open space that features a versatile additional living area, perfect for a cozy family room or entertainment area. Adjacent to this, you'll find room for a workout area or additional work from home office space. Practicality is certainly not overlooked in this home, with ample storage solutions thoughtfully integrated throughout the basement. The convenient laundry and storage room adds further functionality, offering a blend of comfort and utility. Finally, as you make your way outside into the generous yard, you will be met with ample room for gardening in the custom cedar garden boxes, recreation, or even expansion possibilities. The outdoor space offers endless opportunities to create your own personal oasis and is capped off by one of the highlights of this property - the expansive and newly painted three-car garage, complete with a 27'X21' second-level. Whether you're a hobbyist, car enthusiast, or simply in need of extra storage, this feature provides incredible versatility and convenience. Walk to the 606 trailhead, Tasa Coffee roasters, the oldest bakery in the city (do not sleep on the glazed croissant) - Roeser's Bakery, Humbolt Park and more.
