    FIVE MINUTE WALK TO DOWNTOWN BROOKFIELD AND TRAIN! This historic 1888 4BR/2BA home, originally constructed as a two flat and still legal as a nonconforming two-flat, has been transformed into a uniquely flexible single-family house, lovingly restored while retaining its original turn-of-the-century character. Several upgrades from 2020-2024, including: NEW ROOF, NEW PLUMBING, NEW SIDING, NEW FURNACE, NEW WATER HEATER, REBUILT FRONT AND REAR SITTING PORCHES, AND MUCH MORE. A stately carved wooden staircase leads from the ceramic tile foyer to the second floor, which features 2BR/1BA, a separate loft area, and a second kitchen with vaulted ceiling and skylight! Original hardwood floors add warmth to both levels. The private backyard is a relaxing oasis, featuring a newer 2.5-car garage along with three off-alley parking spaces. Full basement features classic stone walls and hookups for two washers and dryers, along with tons of storage space. Top-rated schools include Riverside Brookfield HS! Just a five-minute walk to Brookfield's vibrant downtown district with its restaurants, shops, and establishments, along with BNSF Metra Station. About a mile to the world-famous Brookfield Zoo.
