Description
This expanded brick bungalow in the heart of Western Springs has been superbly maintained and the quality and care are obvious from the moment you step in the front door. Bigger than it looks from the outside, this 4 bedroom, 3 full bathroom home sits on a deep 183' lot on one of the most well-regarded, close-knit blocks in Western Springs. Located one block from Laidlaw Elementary school/park and just 6 blocks to town, this home is in walking distance to everything Western Springs has to offer including the train, rec center, pool, library, schools and parks! The expansion by Normandy Remodeling gave this classic home a fresh life with updated electrical, plumbing and mechanicals, while adding modern features such as a large primary suite, open kitchen & family room, mud room, screened-in porch and more! The angled front entry sets the tone for its unique character and charm. Hardwood floors, arched walls, gorgeous wood burning fireplace and oversized crown molding & trim complete the picture. With over 4,400 sq. feet, this home just feels spacious! There is a huge living room with adjacent sitting room plus a separate dining room. The 'heart of the home' is the entire back where the kitchen and breakfast room are open to the family room. French doors lead to the amazing screened-in porch with views of the beautiful yard, bluestone patio and professionally landscaped retreat! As a bonus, there is a first floor full bathroom and the 4th bedroom which could function as an ideal private office. The primary suite is enormous and has 9' ceilings, an updated master closet and large bathroom with air jet soaking tub and separate shower. The new part of the basement was dug out during the expansion and has a radiant heated floor to keep the lower level family room cozy. To top it all off, the taxes for this property are under $13,000! Owner is a licensed managing broker in Illinois.
