This exquisite and custom designed home from 1936 by architect Pehlke is a masterful fusion of English Tudor, Spanish, Craftsman and art deco styles. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Historic Galewood; rich in both history and community. From the grand foyer marked by a crafted arched door, the magnificent picture window and 14 foot exposed beam ceiling crowned by a limestone fleur-de-lis fireplace perfect for both cozy family evenings and special gatherings instantly draw you in.
Preserved wood trim and floors are just the beginning to some of the special vintage detail to appreciate in this one of a kind home. You will be impressed by it¿s substantial size as well. The spanning dining room is formal and can host a magnificent get-together.
The kitchen is updated with modern appeal such as granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, yet embraces the rare and desirable carpentry of the past. Enjoy a cup of coffee or intimate meals in the breakfast nook overlooking the yard. Well-appointed lighting makes this room both functional and timeless.
Two bedrooms and a retro full bath complete the first floor. The added second floor features a massive bedroom with a generous closet plus two additional bedrooms for the buyer who wants both charm and room to grow. A generous full size bath, plus the added convenience of a laundry area complement the upstairs.
This home would not be complete without a large, open, partially finished basement spanning over 1600 square feet and additional laundry. Enjoy room for storage, a workout area, playroom and media center.
Comfort and convenience go hand in hand with this home. Expect only a two block walking distance to an impressive and sought after neighborhood school and only a four-block walk to the Metra. Your shopping needs are easily meet with all that Oak Park, River Forest and the Brickyard have to offer including, Jewel, Trader Joe¿s, Whole Foods and much, much more. Enjoy local restaurants that continually rank as some of the best spots to dine. Plus, it is a mere access to 290 for both downtown and suburb transit.
An active and dedicated neighborhood committee and garden club is proud to announce a brand new playground slated in 2010 for our enjoyment at Rutherford Sayre Park just walking distance away. The park itself also features baseball fields, tennis courts and plenty of programs and activities for all ages.
Last but not least, feel secure with your purchase as this home qualifies for the Northwest Equity Assurance Program only available to selected areas. Once registered with this government-funded program, you can trust that your home will never be worth less than what you paid, regardless of market conditions.
With so much to love and appreciate, why not call this house¿ Home?
