Welcome to 1852 Maple Avenue, a custom mid-century blond brick Georgian home that perfectly blends vintage charm with modern updates. Nestled in the heart of Berwyn's Gold Coast, this custom-built, two-story single-family residence offers 3 spacious bedrooms-larger than standard and all located on the second floor-and 1.5 retro yet classy bathrooms. Step inside to find a beautifully refreshed interior featuring a living room that spans the width of the home, complete with a stunning east-facing bay window that bathes the room in natural light. The formal dining room, situated between the living room and the updated white cabinet kitchen, is perfect for family dinners and entertaining guests with its south and western exposures for sunshine and sunsets. The kitchen has newer stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, making meal prep and clean-up a breeze. Descend to the lower level to discover a vintage/retro family room-a perfect hangout space for movie nights or casual gatherings. This level also includes a laundry room and ample storage/workshop space, catering to all your practical needs. Notably, the basement ceiling is higher than usual, enhancing the sense of space and comfort. The deep backyard is an outdoor oasis, featuring a deck for summer barbecues, a swingset for play, and a brick two-car garage with a side apron for additional tandem parking. A charming fruit-bearing peach tree adds a special touch to this serene space. Living at 1852 Maple Avenue means enjoying the best of Berwyn's vibrant community. You'll be within walking distance to Starbucks, Cermak Plaza shopping, Berwyn Sprout, North Riverside Mall, and a plethora of dining options like Longhorn Steakhouse and Buffalo Wild Wings. Commuting is a breeze with the Harlem bus providing easy transfers to the CTA blue or green lines and quick access to the I-290 expressway. Families will appreciate the proximity to Jefferson Elementary School. Berwyn is known for its eclectic mix of houses and residents, and this home situates you close to major areas like downtown Chicago, Oak Park, Forest Park, Riverside, Brookfield, and LaGrange. With convenient access to nearly everything Chicagoland has to offer-from dining and entertainment to culture-you'll find everything you need right here. Plus, enjoy the nearby Kriz Skatepark and other local amenities that make Berwyn a fantastic place to live. Recent updates include new electric installed in 2018 and a vinyl privacy fence added in 2019, ensuring peace of mind for the new homeowners. Don't miss the opportunity to make this charming custom mid-century Georgian your new home this summer!

A one owner home!! Well constructed brick Georgian is waiting for owner #2. What a great place to build some sweat equity! You will need a paint brush, floor sander and a "vision" but in the end, what great potential lies ahead! You will have 3 nice size bedrooms up with full bath. On main floor is a very large living room plus dining room and kitchen plus powder room. The basement is partially finished. There's a nice size fenced yard and a 2 car BRICK garage! There's a newer composite deck overlooking the back yard! Don't hesitate!!!
