Nestled on a quiet, verdant street in the heart of historic Arlington Heights, mere minutes to the city, 311 S Adams Street presents an exceptional showcase of a century-old home lovingly updated to cater towards demanding current lifestyles. Originally constructed in 1920 and meticulously improved by the current owner, the residence offers thoughtful design while retaining all of its classic charm. A traditional craftsman, a charming front porch serves as an introduction for the inviting warmth radiating throughout. Freshly painted Hardie Plank siding and a new roof enhance both curb appeal and functionality, as does lush landscaping. Entering through the new custom door reveals a generous 2,296 finished square feet spread across two levels of ethereal living space. Fresh paint throughout augments the sensations of light and space. An office adjacent to the entrance serves as an extension of the foyer and a flexible workspace. At the heart of the main level is the stunning family room, professionally designed and flooded with natural light. Built-ins line the space, which offers direct rear grounds access and is illuminated via skylights above. Adjacent is the refreshed kitchen, offering a streamlined design and a comprehensive suite of stainless steel appliances. The dining room is equally apt at accommodating formal gatherings or more casual meals, and an additional private office, accessed through French doors, offers a dignified retreat. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a retreat. Abundant storage is provided via two separate closets – one truly generous in scale – with built-in shelving. The ensuite primary bath has been comprehensively updated with fresh hardware, fixtures, and finishes. Two additional bedrooms have both been thoroughly updated as well, offering ample accommodation. Fenced, private, and lush, the rear lawn is an entertainer’s delight. The large deck offers an ideal space for al fresco dining, and a fire pit extends functionality to the cooler months. As an added bonus, an outbuilding provides additional square footage for sheltered gatherings. Full of character, smartly updated, and situated in an unparalleled central Arlington location less than five miles to Downtown, 311 S Adams Street is a fine blend of suburban space with urban convenience.
