Property Description

Absolutely charming single family home in highly sought after Historic Lakewood Balmoral! This 1905 house has central air conditioning, six bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one powder room. While the property has been modernized, the vintage character is wonderfully present, including a full front porch, front parlor, and original wood burning fireplaces in the living room and above, in the bedroom currently used as a library. Light streams into the separate dining room and the great room off the kitchen from the many windows and glass doors, as well as up on the third floor. The kitchen itself has been fitted out for active cooks, with stainless steel appliances, stone counters, and loads of cabinets. On the second floor are four bedrooms and two full bathrooms,including a primary suite. The airy third floor provides yet another primary suite with loads of room for any number of uses. The lower level is finished with a family room, bedroom, full bathroom, and utility areas with laundry. Your outdoor area in the back flows from the dining room and kitchen to a generous back deck and open yard. As street parking is so easy, the choice was made to enjoy a rare full backyard rather than having a garage. Incredible access to public transportation as well, with the Red Line stop just a few blocks over, bus lines, and not far from the new Metra stop at Peterson. Walk to the grocery store and to the beaches to your east, and to all the fantastic restaurants and shops in Andersonville to your west. In esteemed Peirce International Elementary School District, and surrounded by Waldorf, Rogers Park Montessori, Sacred Heart, and other great private schools. Block parties and other social offerings abound in Lakewood Balmoral; join us!
