Step back in time with this elegant 1895 Victorian, beautifully blending timeless charm with modern livability. Perfect for multi-generational living or a roommate setup, this home offers two distinct living spaces, each with its own character and privacy. The inviting front porch sets the tone for the warmth within. The main level features a spacious living room, a formal dining area, a generous kitchen, a cozy family room, and a primary suite with private bath. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath. Enjoy peaceful evenings on the screened back porch overlooking the lush, landscaped yard. The upper level, with its own private entrance, includes a comfortable living room, dining area, and a large kitchen that will delight any home chef, along with two bedrooms and a full bath. The unfinished basement offers laundry and plenty of space for storage or future finishing. Recent updates (2026) include a new furnace, an electrical system on the first floor, new washer and dryer, and a main kitchen stove. The expansive .79-acre lot is truly a highlight, surrounded by mature trees and vibrant gardens that create a serene retreat. A charming carriage house on the property offers potential but requires some structural TLC. All this, just blocks from downtown amenities and the Metra station-a rare blend of history, character, and convenience!
