Professionally landscaped front lawn and garden is designed for privacy yet inviting space on a most pedestrian friendly tree-canopied street. Thoughtfully designed new rear deck is angled for winter sun and breezy summer shade. Fully fenced backyard affords safe and functional outdoor living space for pets and children; and is privately gated in rear to offer secret passage to an amazing old growth forest adjacent to Glenlake Nature Preserve as well as creek way access into Glenlake park. Vintage 2 car garage functions perfectly for today's covered parking and grandfathers a footprint for a 2-story carriage house. Main level ceiling height affords handsome cubic space to a classic floorplan with period molding, big windows and an elegant masonry fireplace with Adam style mantle. The screened porch feels vintage with the most charming, patterned columns delicately woven into the front elevation as if to invite the front gardens into under-roof open airy living space. Unfinished attic is properly studded for easy transformation into additional bedroom 3 and 4 or luxury owner's suite with sizeable home office. Partially finished basement currently offers a cozy 3rd bedroom/guestroom and 2nd bath/and laundry space all with terrace level natural light. Finished home studio office is functional and quiet yet just off the central unfinished bonus space easily reconfigured for spacious recreation room. With so many apparent options for future enlargement, we provide the flexibility to get in small and carefully plan your future expanded masterpiece.
