Property Description
**Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort in a Prime Downtown Location!** Step into a piece of history with this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated home, originally built in 1901. Situated on a spacious lot and a half in a highly sought-after location just a short walk from downtown, this property offers a rare blend of historic character and modern convenience. The close proximity allows you to reach Harmony Park, Arlington Al Fresco dining, the Metra train station, and all the shops and restaurants the area has to offer in just a few minutes. As you enter, you'll be greeted by classic wood floors and a sense of timeless elegance. The main floor features a versatile library and music room, perfect for quiet afternoons. The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, completely remodeled in 2000. It features a Subzero refrigerator, and KitchenAid double oven, dishwasher, and cooktop, along with a Samsung microwave. The kitchen flows into a bright and welcoming family room addition. This newer space is anchored by a cozy, chimneyless gas fireplace and provides access to the main floor's half-bath. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, each with its own unique charm. The master bedroom includes a ceiling fan and a walk-in cedar closet. The full bathroom on this level has been beautifully remodeled with a modern shower. The full basement offers extensive storage, a workshop area, a laundry room, and an additional shower-perfect for cleaning up after yard work. It also houses a newer furnace and air conditioning system installed in 2000. As a nod to the home's long history, a vintage oil tank remains, adding a unique, historical touch that buyers of older homes will appreciate. **Key updates provide peace of mind for the new owner**, including a major remodel in 2000 that added the family room and updated the kitchen, furnace, and A/C. The roof comes with a 50-year transferable guarantee with many years of life left. The detached garage also includes a dedicated EV charging port. This is a unique opportunity for a buyer who appreciates the character of an older home but desires modern amenities. With its prime location and significant updates to the kitchen and baths-the features that truly sell a property-this home is ready to welcome its next chapter.
