Live one block from Lake Michigan in a safe residential community. Allendale in Kenosha is an historic area with large traditional homes built by the early industrialists around 1900. Every home has a story, and most of them were owned by a single family for generations. This is a 1928 English Tudor with 14 inch thick stone walls, leaded glass windows and beamed ceilings. It has been recently updated and certified energy efficient with air-conditioing throughout. The winter WE Energy bill for 5,000-plus-square-feet is about $400/mo ($100 summer). It has 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths and 2 half baths. The nursery/bedroom off the master suite could easily be converted to a large walk in closet. It has a traditional Tudor living room with hand hewn ceiling beams, hardwood floors, and a non-traditional gas fireplace for warmth, beauty and to prevent heat loss from the house. The large entry is tiled with imported Spanish tiles and has a closet and powder room and a spiral staircase. There is a second stairway to the 2nd floor off the kitchen. A formal dining room has detailed molding, six windows overlooking the garden, and a beautiful chandelier. The large eat in kitchen is newly remodeled with granite counter tops, slate floors and stainless appliances, including a built in wine cellar. There is an attached garage off the kitchen, which is unusual for this era. A fully air-conditioned third floor 1300 sq foot room is currently an artist's studio but would make a very wonderful family room/entertainment center. The unfinished basement has a laundry with bathroom, wine cellar, Christmas storage room, large furnace room/storage area and a tool room/workshop - 6 rooms! The gardens have been newly landscaped. All of this on a tree lined street with sidewalks, and minutes walking from beaches, art centers, museums, schools, and the yacht club; and a short drive to numerous golf clubs. Your kids could walk to school and you can reach the train station with free parking before your commute. http://www.kenoshacountryclub.com/index.php http://www.kenoshayachtclub.com http://www.kenosha.org/departments/parks/index.html http://voices.yahoo.com/kenosha-public-museums-history-dinosaurs-civil-8381519.html http://www.andersonartscenter.com http://www.kusd.edu
