Located on beautiful, tree-lined Belden in the Lincoln school district, this historic end row home has endless light beaming through 7-foot arched windows and many impressive, original features including two wood burning fireplaces with ornate marble mantles and gorgeous ironwork.   The first floor has 10-foot ceilings topped with substantial, plaster crown moldings, 12-inch baseboards and original hardwood flooring.  An original pocket door leads from the foyer to the sunny living and dining rooms.  There is a fully enclosed first floor office, kitchen with a professional Wolf range and a separate breakfast room.  A bonus room that can be used as a den or music room completes this level. The second floor has 3 bedrooms and two full baths, plus a space for a homework area or dressing room.  The second bedroom has an tandem room that can be used as a separate bedroom, study or play space.  The master bedroom has glorious light and a stunning wood burning fireplace is the focal point of the spacious bedroom. The loft-like top floor includes a huge family/rec room and play space that is flooded with natural light on three sides and features exposed brick walls.  Another bedroom or home office completes this floor. The unfinished lower level that is currently used for laundry and storage has unusually high ceilings and large windows that give this space unlimited potential. The current owner has acquired Landmarks and Zoning permission to add a 1-car attached garage with a roof top terrace and your own driveway onto Geneva. There is also easy rental parking located behind the property. This wondeful home has endless possibilities.  It is utterly charming as it is or you can make it your own with architectural plans for a 5-bed, 5.2 bath renovation developed by the current owner and renowned architect, Tim LeVaughn.  The location and amenities are second-to-none with Lincoln Elementary, Oz Park, Francis Parker, Lincoln Park and the lakefront all at your doorstep.
