Owners' unexpected out of state transfer is your golden opportunity to own this lovingly cared-for vintage Craftsman bungalow. A unique mix of traditional charm and modern technology, this home has photovoltaic & hot water solar panels (low electricity bills! lots of hot water!) and original maple floors. Push-button light switches (recently replaced) and a nest thermostat. Dual zoned a/c and a whole-house fan keep you cool whether you like fresh air or air conditioning. The windows have been re-glazed keeping the characteristic multi-paned glass. Lots of nooks for e-learning or working from home. The awesome finished loft up the ladder in the fourth bedroom makes a great place for sleepovers, and even has a skylight! The recently refinished antique copper tub in the master bath dates to the late 1800's and is perfect for soaking away stress. The period double sink in master bath with charming dual faucets adds authentic detail. Walk in closets in three of the five bedrooms provide ample storage. The sun-filled dance/exercise/study room on the main floor can be an incredible private office/work space. The nice sized first floor bedroom has a full en suite. There's a large formal dining room for those family gatherings (when we can have them again!) plus a spacious breakfast nook with a built in bench/table for everyday. The classic six-burner Roper stove has been rebuilt, a Miele dishwasher, prep sink, butcher block and stone countertops, and vintage look newer cabinets combine old and new in the kitchen. There's even a mud room with cubbies for all your gear and a whole house vac for easy cleaning, too! All of this within a block of the Metra station, around the corner from the indoor farmers' market and a few blocks from the summer farmers' market at the train station, and easy walking distance to downtown bars & restaurants, the library, Lincoln Middle School and the new grocery store coming soon to Maple Street Lofts. This means your cars can stay in the newer 20x30 oversize garage (which has a huge loft for additional storage!)!! Of course, this location offers way more than great convenience. You'll also enjoy top rated District 57 Elementary Schools and Prospect HS, plus easy access to multiple pools and parks. The beautiful eco-friendly yard has been pesticide free for many years and is ready for you to enjoy this summer!!!!! Please note that taxes DO NOT reflect a Homeowner Exemption.
