Some homes are built. This one was kept. On a tree-lined Southport Corridor street, behind a beautifully restored wood- clapboard facade and a millwork front porch, 3744 N. Bosworth is the rare Lakeview Victorian that survived the teardown era with its soul intact - and was thoughtfully updated to live the way you do now. Inside,3600 square feet unfold across three light-filled levels. The heart of the home is the main floor: a gracious living and dining room for everything from Tuesday weekday dinners to holiday tables, flowing to a well-appointed kitchen with a breakfast nook, and an adjoining sitting room and a well-appointed office.- the spot everyone gravitates to with coffee in hand. The family room extends from the kitchen, and the breakfast room overlooks the back yard. Out back, a deck large enough for real dinners overlooks a professionally landscaped garden anchored by an ornamental pear and a bluestone patio. Upstairs, a private primary suite is joined by two additional bedrooms and updated baths - a quiet retreat above the action. The updated laundry room is nearby for convenience and the bonus room in back is a natural kids' study/den area. And then there's the difference-maker: an at- grade lower level that is not a basement. Sitting on grade, full of light, it offers a spacious family room and wet bar plus rooms that adapt to whatever season of life you're in - a home gym, guest quarters, a teen or in-law retreat, even a return to two-unit living should you ever want it. Five bedrooms, three and a half baths, a two-car garage, and a 25 x 125 lot complete the picture. All of it sits in the Blaine Elementary boundary, steps from acclaimed Southport Corridor shops, entertainment and restaurants, the Brown Line, and favorite- Juniper Park just a block and a half away. This is the address buyers wait for - and the kind of character that, once gone, cannot be rebuilt.
