About This Home

Classic Cape Cod, high on a hill - discover the charm of this solid brick home on a spacious corner lot, and watch the fall colors from the deck overlooking the huge yard. Lovely hardwood floors throughout, fantastic vintage details, and the oversized windows let in tons of natural light - even in the basement! Main floor master bedroom with 1/2 bath, 2 dormered bedrooms and full bath on 2nd level - hardwood under carpet. Hobbyist's basement, formerly a woodworking shop and brewmaster's lab. Newer 2 car garage with tons of storage, just steps from the back door. Bring your ideas to modernize this Chicago classic home!
