Step back in time while enjoying modern-day comforts in this beautifully preserved 1888 farmhouse, brimming with character and history. Nestled on a spacious lot in the heart of Berwyn Heights, this one-of-a-kind home features classic architectural details, original hardwood floors, and millwork that speak to its rich heritage. From the moment you step onto the welcoming front porch, you’ll feel the warmth and soul of this home. Inside, high ceilings and tall windows bathe each room in natural light, while vintage details—like the ornate stair railings and period-style trim—evoke a timeless charm. Cozy up by the wood burning fireplace or open a book in the bright sunroom. The large kitchen offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience, with updated appliances and ample space for gathering. A laundry room and bonus room, with access to the backyard, can also be found right off the kitchen. Upstairs are four bedrooms with tree-lined views from the windows. The updated full bath features tasteful fixtures that stay true to the home’s original style. The additional "tub room" has potential to become a large primary bathroom. On the third level you'll find the generous attic space full of possibilities! Outside, the expansive yard offers plenty of room to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The home also has a garage with a workshop room and the cellar provides additional storage space. Whether you're sipping coffee on the porch or hosting friends under the stars in the backyard, this home offers a rare blend of history, space, and comfort. Near beautiful Lake Artemesia, walking/biking trails, playgrounds, commuter routes, shopping and more! Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Berwyn Heights history—this home is a true treasure.
