$10,000 Closing Cost Credit! Rare opportunity to own a historic Victorian house on an oversized lot located on one of the most coveted one-way streets in Forest Park! This vintage style home has 3-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms with a 2nd floor office and option for an office/studio in the basement. While vintage in style, this home also features a rehabbed kitchen with peninsula and an oversized picture window overlooking the massive, landscaped backyard. When arriving to the house, you'll notice the high-level curb appeal with a decorator's paint scheme, original planters and an inviting front porch. As you walk into the home, you are welcomed with a parlor, living room and a wide-open dining room. Attached to the dining room, there's a perfect family room for a large tv and couches. Upstairs, you'll find a beautifully vaulted main bedroom with large walk-in closet and space for a desk or lounge and a huge bathroom with double-bowl sinks as well as two additional identically sized bedrooms to go along with the office. The full basement has newer side by side laundry and a new on-demand hot water heater. There's also an additional studio/office as well as a ton of storage. The stunning oversized lot has flower beds in the side yards and a beautiful tree with yard and patio. A newer detached 3-car garage for cars, tools and toys completes this wonderful property. Steps to the Library and Madison St. with all the shops, coffee, restaurants and entertainment as well as a quick walk to the Blue Line and the Park District of Forest Park with Aquatic Center and Skate Park. So many options for things to do in the perfect location!
