Under contract with a home to sell contingency and still showing. Welcome to the gem of Skokie Woods. This meticulously maintained one owner home was custom built in 1941 reflecting the style of traditional Cape Ann homes on the east coast. With its gambrel roof and extraordinary millwork, gorgeous front door and 6 panel doors, true divided-light windows, curved archways, moldings, and built-ins, this is a one-of-a kind find, a treasure. Never before on the market, and located on a beautiful quiet block in the heart of Devonshire with its beautiful trees, the home has been professionally landscaped and offers a large rear yard. Room to easily and perfectly expand should you choose to do so. Much has been done to refine the space over the years. The custom newer kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, beautiful granite tops and back-splash with nickel details and hardware, custom cherry cabinetry, and sweet breakfast bar overlooking the lovely yard. Cute powder room. Handy side door entry leads to a covered stone walkway to the brick garage and front or rear yard. The gracious and bright front living room features a handsome wood-burning fireplace flanked by bookshelves and stunning large windows with plantation shutters. Step out through French doors from the separate formal dining room to a wonderful screened porch which opens to the patio. Beautiful hardwood floors are found throughout. Everything is freshly painted with today's palette.. The upstairs provides four bedrooms, the largest is currently used as a family room with lots of closets, (2 walk-ins) built-in window seat storage and pegged oak floors. Real wood tongue & groove paneling makes this a comfortable place to read and relax or watch a favorite movie! The current primary bedroom offers double closets, its own ceramic bath with a view over the yard, and two additional family bedrooms share a pristine hall bathroom. Downstairs find a cozy bonus finished, carpeted, family room, with tongue & groove knotty pine paneling, wood burning fireplace, built-in bar and good storage. Spotless laundry room and utility areas have new flooring, more storage, and new glass block windows.
