Experience the charm of living in a wonderful neighborhood, just 1.5 blocks from the Metra and Keystone Park, and 2.5 blocks from Washington Park. Step through the new front door and be greeted by stunning architectural details, including beautiful hardwood floors, archways, and a striking curved staircase that leads to the second floor. The expansive living room, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, beamed ceiling, and built-in shelves, opens into a sun-soaked sunroom. Host gatherings in the elegant dining room with its cross-beamed ceiling. The spacious kitchen offers great potential, including newer stainless steel appliances (added in '19). The primary bedroom is generously sized, making it a perfect candidate for a future en-suite and walk-in closet.

Enjoy outdoor living in the fully fenced-in backyard, with mature trees for shade, perennial plants for color, and a patio perfect for lounging. Don't miss this hidden gem!
