MULTIPLE OFFERS REC'D. H&B due by 10 pm Tuesday, 10/22/24. Set in lovely, leafy Galewood, this gorgeous 3-bed/2-bath checkerboard bungalow is the epitome of charm and grace. Breath-taking, original stained-glass windows surround you with color and light in both the living room and dining room. You'll be delighted as you move through this home to discover so many elegant architectural details--the aligned, arched doorways, the coved, embellished ceilings, the stenciled, vintage doors, the swan chandelier... and everything has been recently updated. The first floor offers a tastefully designed kitchen, two large, comfortable bedrooms with generous closets, and a stylish, full bath. There are two (2!) bonus rooms on this floor: a tandem room that could be your sunny work-from-home space; and a bright, four-season sunroom with nice casement windows where you can enjoy your morning coffee. The second floor is a huge, air-conditioned space that could be a guest room for all your relatives; a new social destination for the kids; or perhaps add another bath and turn it into the primary bedroom of your dreams. The finished lower level offers a large recreation room, a guest-room space, a full luxe bath, and a brand-new kitchenette! Set on a corner lot, the home is professionally landscaped and offers a backyard deck, patio, flower beds, and a two-car, brick, detached garage. This home has been well-cared for, with recent tuckpointing of home, garage, and chimneys; newer mechanicals and roof; and newly installed A/C throughout the entire house. Come see this charmer today!
