Showings to begin 09/21 - Some homes are more than a collection of rooms—they hold generations of stories. Built in 1914 and cherished by the same owners for 43 years, this beautiful three-bedroom, two-bath home is ready for its next chapter. The inviting front porch and beautiful wood-and-glass entry with sidelights set the tone for an interior filled with original character, including oak floors and woodwork, pocket doors, substantial trim, a grand staircase and a coffered dining-room ceiling. Formal living and dining rooms provide plenty of gathering space, while the updated kitchen, additional dining area and three-season sunroom offer comfort for everyday living. A finished third floor provides wonderful flexibility for an office, recreation room, studio, hobby or living space. Situated on a corner lot with mature trees and landscaping, the property also features a deck and detached two-car garage. Replacement windows, downstairs central air, upstairs mini-splits and many additional improvements enhance the home’s comfort and functionality while allowing its architectural beauty to remain the star. Located just one block from Lincoln Park and the historic Brinkerhoff Mansion, this remarkable home offers space, history and details rarely found at this price point. They simply don’t build them like this anymore.
