Welcome to this unique and meticulously crafted home, situated just outside the vibrant City of Chicago, but in an oasis that feels worlds away. Located in the desirable Hollywood section of Brookfield, this lovely home showcases timeless beauty both inside and out. Upon entry, you'll notice the charming original staircase and the arched entryway to the spacious living room. The woodburning fireplace is flanked with built-in recessed shelving and the large windows offer a picturesque view of the front yard. The large formal dining room can accommodate many guests comfortably and connects directly to the kitchen. The rear family room is very large and has a private entrance that provides endless possibilities, from a home-based business to additional living quarters. Completing the main level is a private office/bedroom, a half bath, and an enclosed porch. Upstairs, you'll discover three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a private suite. You can access the balcony via the hallway and French doors off the bedroom. Notice the decorative lentils, cedar beams, swinging 8-panel doors, and hardwood floors throughout. Such a desirable location, with the famous Brookfield Zoo just a stone's throw away. Conveniently located within walking distance to the Metra train station, neighborhood schools, downtown Brookfield's dining and shopping destinations, the library, CVS, Tischler's grocery store, and the local farmer's market. Near Kiwanis Park offers an array of recreational activities, from baseball and softball to a playground and frisbee golf, along with a band shell for park concerts. This solid home features copper water supply lines, a Parks Plumbing flood prevention system, and a 200 amp Electric Panel for added peace of mind. Additional bonuses include a 50-amp electric car hook-up in the garage, 2x10 attic construction, roof installed in 2017, and a furnace and A/C unit from 2013. Don't miss this opportunity to own a home where tranquility meets the convenience of city living.
