Charming 1924 bungalow in the heart of such a lovely old neighborhood! Situated on a deep lot, on a winding street with over-arching 100 year-old oak trees. In the 20s, this neighborhood earned the nickname "Silk Stockings", because the homes built here were considered to be the prettiest and most elegant homes in the area. This red brick Craftsman style bungalow is a classic example of the quality design of the era. A traditional, huge front porch graces the front of the home, with space for a family's worth of rocking chairs. Boasting original oak wood trim and flooring throughout, and a spacious floor plan, you'll recognize that this home has a solid, warm, and comfortable feeling as soon as you walk through the front door. There are 5 well-proportioned bedrooms, and 4 baths; an oversized kitchen with doors leading out to a wrap-around deck spanning the back of the home... with plenty of space for daydreaming under huge shade trees; BBQing; or watching the kids kick a ball around the nearly 1/2 acre lot. Basement features kitchenette, full bath, bedroom and living area for extended living with private outdoor entrance. The current owner raised a family here and they enjoyed proximity to all the benefits of living in this neighborhood: the Des Plaines Theatre; award-winning Des Plaines Public Library; Metra UPNW train, 27 minutes to the Loop; Mystic Waters Family Aquatic Center; Prairie Lakes Community Center with fitness club; playgrounds and schools. Come see for yourself, this historic home in a wonderful neighborhood! No sign on property.
