Every house tells a story and this IS a great story! Built in 1958 with pride by the current and only owner, this home has great curb appeal. Relax with a cold glass of lemonade on the brick paved front porch and take in the landscape. Enter the home into the living room and admire the beautiful hardwood floors or sit beside the stone woodburning fireplace on cold Chicago nights. Steps away is the separate dining room which features built in cabinets for storing and/or displaying your prized place settings and serving pieces. Head into the updated kitchen (2016) featuring many amenities: wood floors, gas cooktop, double oven, quartz counters, quiet close cabinets and greenhouse window. Adjacent to the kitchen is space to pay your bills, plan your week and organize your life! The addition includes the garden room which is a huge family room with soaring ceilings, built in cabinets, wood burning stove and french doors leading to the back patio. With windows on three sides of this room, it is a light and bright surprise with fantastic views of your backyard! Primary bedroom and full bath are conveniently located on the main level with 2 additional oversized bedrooms and full bath on the second floor.  The basement is a great recreational area complete with custom wet bar, laundry room and additional storage with a walk out to the back patio. Once outside, you'll find a grand paver patio, large enough for multiple seating areas. Discover the hidden garden and all of the varieties of perennials and butterflies just through the arches. Custom, hand built shed stores all your yard equipment and gardening tools to help you maintain this landscaped oasis.  If you'd like to add your backyard retreat, plenty of room for an inground pool, firepit or bocce court. Two and a half car garage with huge attic storage completes this storybook home.
