The facade is representative of a Chicago style bungalow but on a grand scale known as a jumbo bungalow. The home unfolds into a series of beautifully scaled rooms filled with natural light, original craftsmanship, and thoughtful updates that feel both timeless and livable. The formal living room is an immediate standout - anchored by a striking tile fireplace and framed with original stained-glass windows that glow throughout the day. Tall ceilings, elegant moldings, and a generous seating area create a warm yet refined gathering space. Just off the living room, a sunny bay-window room serves as a perfect office, reading room, bar or lounge area. A gracious formal dining room, large enough for full-scale entertaining, sits between the kitchen and living room. The kitchen is tasteful, neutral, and absolutely move-in ready - a clean, well-maintained space with great flow. It includes a charming breakfast nook that leads into the home's relaxed family room, creating a true everyday living hub. Beyond that, a plant-filled sunroom offers an unexpected bonus space: bright, tranquil and ideal for morning coffee or simply enjoying views of the backyard garden. A first-floor bedroom and full bath provide unmatched flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a dedicated office suite, while the second floor features four additional bedrooms and two full baths plus a large 2nd floor laundry room. But wait, there is more! The lower level adds yet another dimension, offering an additional 1,700 square feet of finished living space with tall ceilings, a full bathroom, a near-complete second kitchen, dedicated workout space and a separate entrance - ideal as an in-law suite, au pair space, or just fun additional living space. Outside, the backyard feels like a private urban retreat, with a beautifully designed patio and mature landscaping. A two-car garage with electric charging station for convenience. The location is tops- a mile to Lee Street Beach, blocks to trains, restaurants and shopping and schools. A rare blend of historic character, understated elegance, and truly flexible living.
