This Highland Park home feels welcoming from the moment you arrive. Thoughtful updates provide a wonderful balance of classic charm and comfortable, modern living. The main level is designed for gathering, with a traditional living room, formal dining room, and an especially inviting family room featuring vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and French doors that lead to the patio and private backyard. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, with plenty of cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a classic full bath. The finished lower level adds valuable flexibility--great space for a recreation room, office, or exercise space. The large egress window lets in lots of light making this basement space exceptionally inviting and useful. A finished laundry room, generous storage space, and a work bench round out the lower level. The walk up attic offers great storage space, too. Updates include Marvin windows, Hardie siding, and a recently replaced roof. All of this in one of Highland Park’s most desirable settings, near parks, schools, neighborhood shops and restaurants, and with easy access to both downtowns. A home with character, comfort, and room to live well. Welcome home!
