This one hits different! You have been waiting for this move-in condition home with a truly unique floor plan. 4 bed/2 bath, bright, fresh home with updated styling embraces the best of it's original Mid-Century Modern features. As you enter, you will take note of the newly refinished hardwood floors and the floor-to-ceiling living room windows. The open floor plan joins the living room and dining room, with the original room divider, lending a touch of simple elegance and provides both privacy and visibility that separates the dining room from the front foyer, hallway, and staircases. The kitchen has everything you expect and more - stainless appliances (the stove with swappable burner/gas grill with downdraft ventilation), ample warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, an enormous breakfast bar, a deep double stainless sink, jumbo refrigerator with filtered water and both cubed/crushed ice. The adjoining outdoor living room is fully screened and has a beachfront cottage vibe, and you can use a gas grill under it's protective roof all year round! The outdoor living room has 2 exits to the fully-fenced yard. The smaller side yard is perfect for games of bags/cornhole or horseshoes, dog run, or other play space. The lilac bush fills the kitchen and lanai with fragrance in the spring. The other door opens to the HUGE new paver patio and walkway - roomy enough for an oversized patio table and chairs and fire pit - and a lush, green grassy yard. Your new retreat also includes FRESH PERENNIAL FRUIT: a cherry tree out front, and in back there are 2 peach trees, a mulberry tree, and the western fence lined with raspberry bushes! On the east side of the garage is a garden patch that has been weeded and newly fertilized with fresh soil added, so it is ready for your green thumb next spring. Everything outside has been kept organically for at least the last 8 years. There is a 2-1/2 car garage with electric openers and storage cabinets. Back inside, you have 4 bedrooms - 3 plus a SHOWSTOPPER tandem which could easily be made into a true 4th bedroom with tons of storage and a loft - or consider keeping it as it exists for an AMAZING primary suite (It also has hot and cold running water up there, making a private primary bath an option, too!)! Either way, the primary bedroom already has a terrific walk-in closet! On the lower level, you will find a family room with another Mid-Century Modern built-in, a closet, another full bath, the laundry room with a laundry chute, exterior access, and heated floor! There is tons of dry storage in the cement crawlspace that runs the length and width of the entire first floor! Back-flow preventer (better than a check valve!). This beautiful home has been entirely freshly painted, has newly refinished hardwood floors, new lighting, new 200 amp circuit breakers, copper plumbing, newer A/C. Public transportation from this location can't be beat! 3 blocks to the Dempster Yellow Line to Chicago, Loyola University, and the lakefront; 4 blocks to the NEW Pace PULSE express bus to O'Hare Airport Multi-Model station, Evanston, Morton Grove, Niles, Des Plaines, and Rosemont, and these stops connect with Metra and/or Amtrak (as well as the regular Dempster bus east or west that makes the usual stops); and the Skokie Boulevard bus to points north and south. The Edens/I-94 ramps at Dempster are close enough to hop right on, but far enough to not get the noise. If you're here for the schools, as a staff member, teacher, admin, parent, or student, this home is in District 69: arguably the best schools in the village! Students can walk, bike, or ride the bus to them all! With Madison Elementary (.5 mile) and Edison (.7 mile), Lincoln Junior High (1.2 miles), and Niles West High School just 1.1 mile away. With nearly 2000 sf of space, great dining, entertainment, shopping, top-notch public services (the library is legendary), schools, and parks, the downsizing licensed agent-owner says it's your turn to love this home!
