Here it is! In town, and waiting for you. Welcome to a charming piece of Arlington Heights history in the heart of the sought-after HANA district! Originally built in the late 1800s, this 3-bedroom, 1 full and 2 half bath home blends historic architecture and high ceilings with thoughtful updates that make it bright, cheerful and inviting. A true highlight is the beautiful front room, originally the home's open front porch and later enclosed. Lined with windows and filled with natural light, it's a delightful space for reading, music, a home office, conversation, or simply relaxing and watching the neighborhood go by. The charming kitchen features an eat-in area, while the partially finished English basement offers a cozy den, playroom or flex space plus storage and laundry. Outside, enjoy a beautifully landscaped yard, deck, patio, 2-car garage and a unique piece of local history: an original neighborhood gas streetlight post preserved in the backyard (now electric for easy upkeep). Recent improvements include a brand new refrigerator (2026), completely new driveway, garage apron and walkway (2025), cooktop, oven and dishwasher (2024), furnace and A/C with Aprilaire (2024), washer and dryer (2022), and roof, gutters and exterior paint (2022). The basement was partially finished with a tasteful den in 2021. And the location is hard to beat! Just blocks from vibrant downtown Arlington Heights, enjoy easy access to the Metra, library, restaurants, breakfast spots, Farmers Market, concerts in the park, Arlington Hts., Rec Center (ARC), community events, kids' fairs, food trucks and more. HANA residents also have the option to join the neighborhood association for just $25 per year. Historic charm, thoughtful updates and an unbeatable downtown location make this a truly special place to call home! And don't forget to take a look at the orginial home photograph in the entry way - included in the sale btw.
