Welcome to 859 Eklhart St.--a rarely redesigned gem that truly stands out in this market. This 4 bedroom, 2-bathroom classic two-story home offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury. The inviting storybook front porch sets the tone, while the peaceful dead-end street with no immediate neighbors provides an unmatched sense of privacy and tranquility. Step inside to a thoughtful 2023 full renovation where everything--mechanicals, roof, and finishes--has been updated, yet the character of the original hardwood floors remains. The main floor boasts a warm and welcoming living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a redesigned kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a designer backsplash, plus an ample dining area perfect for gatherings. Two bedrooms and a beautifully modern full bathroom complete the first level. Upstairs, prepare to be amazed by the spacious bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. The primary suite is a dream, featuring an oversized walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom with soaking tub, double-bowl vanity, designer fixtures, and a custom tile surround that exudes luxury. The unfinished dry basement offers walkout access and endless potential for your future rec room, home theater, or gym. Outside, the charm continues with its curb appeal, peace, and a location that's just a quick drive to Miller Beach, Railcats Steelyard Stadium, and convenient public transportation to Chicago. This home is truly unlike any other--a storybook retreat reimagined for today's lifestyle, ready for you to move in and make it your own.
