This turn-of-the-century farmhouse is a dream realized, beginning with rear-of-lot placement that provides expansive front yard with western exposure, a sublime space in which to entertain, and perfect for the experienced (or aspiring) urban farmer. Broad front steps lead to a beautiful three season porch, the ideal spot to entertain tea and enjoy the view. The vestibule opens to an eat-in-kitchen where refurbished maple floors show against a mix of modern updates and original built-in cabinetry. Stainless steel appliances and full pantry with open shelving compliment. The main floor boasts soaring ceilings and elegant 1800s red oak floors, newly restored, with neutral decor and white trim throughout. In the formal living and dining rooms, east and west exposures provide continuous light through the day. Exquisite period hardware has been preserved; the first floor office brings a surprise, an absolute delight for the vintage lover. The full bath on the main has bright white tile and porcelain accessories. When you've exhausted yourself for the day, retreat to any one of four bedrooms up, each with refinished red oak flooring, fresh paint and bright trim, plus common area seating, treetop views, generous closets, and a shared powder room. The full standing height basement has laundry and utility, and has been detailed, painted, and readied for your storage, projects, or design finishes. Across more than 120 years this home has been painstakingly cared for, select updates have been made to ensure good condition and some modern efficiencies: vinyl dual paned windows/glass block installed throughout; full tear-off roof with new plywood underlay 2017; 100AMP electric; new electric panel + weatherhead 2021; GFA/CA; new condenser 2023; new HWH in 2024. All this in an unbeatable location on one of the most prestigious blocks in North Park, surrounded by period homes of historic consequence, walking distance to the Brown Line at Kimball, near award-winning elementary, high school and university campuses, multi-acre parks and recreation, 10 minutes to LSD, 90/94, Metra, plus popular breakfast spots and restaurants all around. If you've been waiting for your chance to be here and to have this, the wait is over.
