Don't miss this warm and inviting home with fantastic space! This 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sits on an oversized lot with huge rear yard in an A+ location and in a beautiful setting on a quiet tree-lined street across from Lincolnwood School and Perkins Woods Preserve! Great circular flow that includes a big living room with bay windows and a wood burning fireplace, kitchen (new refrigerator and dishwasher) with double oven, big pantry storage plus eat-in table space and spacious formal dining with enough room for dinner guests. You'll also find a first-floor office and a HUGE family room (with a wall of windows overlooking the big yard) that opens to the breezy screened porch - Fantastic for warm weather indoor/outdoor entertaining! There's a 1st floor full bath plus a convenient mudroom just off the back door entry with plenty of space for coats, boots and other gear. Upstairs you'll find the large primary with 2 closets, plenty of room for extra furnishings or a reading area plus an updated private bathroom. 4 nicely sized guest bedrooms (1 currently used as an office) with big windows gathering lots of sunlight plus a hall bathroom. Very large unfinished attic with a very high roof line that is ripe for expansion-if desired. Unfinished clean and dry basement with great laundry space and storage. Key home features include Nantucket Cedar shingles, hardwood floors, high ceilings, built-ins, beautiful windows brining in lots of natural light, wood burning fireplace, tiled showers, and a rare, oversized driveway that is convenient for family and can accommodate several guests' cars. Walking distance to Central Street's thriving independent shops and restaurants including Tag's Bakery and Backlot Coffee. Easy access to public transportation - Close to the Metra, various bus routes and a few blocks further is the Central St Purple line/EL. An easy bike ride to Lighthouse Beach and NU. Love where you live!
