With easy access to CTA and Metra trains, plus everything Main and Chicago have to offer, the location checks every box. Inside, you'll find soaring 9-foot ceilings, generously sized rooms, and thoughtful updates throughout. 2nd bedroom comes with a 2 person infrared sauna. Original vintage moldings, refinished woodwork, and restored doors add timeless charm. Custom radiator covers add an extra polished touch. The living room is warm and inviting, centered around a classic fireplace with a beautiful mantel and built-in shelving-perfect for books or displaying your favorite pieces. Just off the living room, a sunny east-facing sunroom fills the space with natural light, making it an ideal spot for morning coffee or a cozy reading nook. The dining room is equally impressive, offering plenty of space for everything from weeknight meals to hosting friends, complete with original picture molding and wainscoting for added character. The updated kitchen blends style and function with stainless steel appliances (fridge 4yrs), quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, and abundant cabinetry.
