You can see the beauty of this home even before you enter, with cheerful flowers out front and millwork on double front doors, original to the home. From the moment you enter, you will take in the details: mosaic flooring in the foyer, original carved wood staircase, large windows, elegant moldings and millwork, charming built-ins, hardwood flooring, and a feeling of classic vintage charm you can only find in Chicago. The main floor features a double parlor with a decorative fireplace, an intricate mantle, and marble surround.

The space has an open layout that flows into the oversized family room with extensive built-ins and a gas fireplace with marble surround. Off the family room, you will find the first deck, perfect place for your grill, and the oversized, attached 2-car heated garage. Above the garage is the most stunning deck complete with a pergola, planters, and irrigation system. This is a very peaceful place to begin your mornings with coffee or end your evenings with your favorite beverage. The home's second level is complete with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and laundry. One bedroom can be transformed into a second primary suite as it features an en-suite bathroom with a double bowl vanity. The primary suite occupies the entire top floor, offering the utmost privacy. The primary bedroom is full of light from the 4 floor-to-ceiling French doors that lead to a private balcony. The primary bathroom has separate vanities, a large shower, separate tub, and a private commode. The true showstoppers are the closets. The first is a large closet located across from the bathroom. The second closet was once an office fitted with two desks, which the seller transformed into a dressing room with custom organization. This dressing room is complete with a wet-bar, access to a beautiful deck, French doors, and can easily be restored to its original function as an office or nursery if desired. The lower level, currently a recreation room and fitness room, can easily be an in-law arrangement. It is complete with a kitchen, additional laundry, and a full bathroom.
