Charming 1920s Brick Bungalow in the Heart of Manhattan, IL with a total of about 3300 sq feet of usable space. Step into timeless elegance with this beautifully preserved 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick bungalow brimming with character and thoughtful updates. Built in the 1920s (with original builder paperwork to show), this home showcases much of its original charm-from the authentic doorknobs and crown moldings to the meticulously maintained woodwork that has never been painted. Every detail tells a story of craftsmanship and care. The main floor features 2 bedrooms, a newly renovatedv bathroom, a large living room and dining room, new hardwood flooring that perfectly complements the original trim, and a bright, welcoming kitchen that marries vintage character with modern convenience. The kitchen boasts a large butler's pantry and a separate food pantry, offering abundant storage and functionality. The Butler pantry has laundry hook-up available but this is not the only laundry location. Enjoy the comfort of central heating and air, newly added with a furnace and A/C system, while still retaining the boiler and classic radiators that lend warmth and charm. Other recent upgrades include new gutters with gutter guards, some fresh paint, a new water softener (2024), and main-floor laundry hookups. The walk-up basement offers endless possibilities-featuring its own exterior entrance, full bathroom, and laundry room - making it ideal for related living, a guest suite, or a potential rental opportunity. The walk-up attic includes a cozy bedroom and a large storage area flooded with natural light. Enjoy morning coffee or afternoon relaxation in the sun-drenched solarium, adorned with French doors and walls of glass that overlook the lush professional landscaping. The landscaped yard, a true neighborhood showpiece, has been recognized for its beauty and features a paver patio, firepit, and a 5-foot white picket fence with a gated arbor leading to your private oasis. Additional highlights include a 10x16 shed, a renovated garage with fairly new siding, alley access with extra parking, and convenient street parking in front. The roof is approximately 12 years old, offering peace of mind for years to come. This home is truly one-of-a-kind-a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort, lovingly maintained and ready for its next chapter.
