Description

Calling all vintage home lovers, be prepared to fall in love with East Highland Park's most charming & happy home. It's the storybook "L" shaped 250 sqft front porch w/ beadboard ceiling and porch swing that will capture your heart and entice friends & neighbors to have a seat, enjoy the quiet & lake breezes and stay awhile. The bright and sunny 1st floor features 9' ceilings, is almost entirely hardwood floors, gorgeous 5-panel doors (most with original hardware), original trim work, and tons of beautiful original lead glass windows. The living room is in the front of the home looking out over the porch, likely a front parlor in days past, and is open to the family room which features a gas starter fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The formal dining room features crown molding, chair rail and 2 walls of windows. A cozy den features built-in bookshelves, an adorable study nook and the powder room. The kitchen was remodeled approximately 15 years ago and features 42" white shaker style cabinetry, white Corian counters, all white appliances including a Jenn Air French Door fridge and a delightful built-in window seat - all attached to the spacious screened-in porch which has been fitted with storm windows and acts as a wonderful 3-season room overlooking the beautiful backyard. All bedrooms are on the 2nd level and feature hardwood floors, enchanting dormered ceilings and share a neutral white hall bath. Full unfinished basement with exterior access and features the traditional vintage basement random toilet (at least the plumbing is there!). Much loved & well maintained, this home sits on a gorgeous lot close to Lake Michigan, downtown HP, downtown Ravinia, and has easy access to transportation, shopping, recreation, nature and all that Highland Park has to offer. Bring your ideas to upgrade or expand and make this your own happy home. Being sold "as-is."
