Solid red brick, 3 bedroom and 1 1/2 bath, Hemphill Colonial home in 'Skevanston' is ready for its new owners. The sellers have lived here for 40+ years, and they have taken impeccable care of this home. Beautiful hardwood floors and trim throughout the first floor including the living room, dining room, kitchen and family room. Original built-in bookshelves and a wood burning fireplace in the living room. Large, updated windows throughout the home provide great natural light. From the living room, enjoy the updated 3 season room, with tile floors, newer windows on three sides and a beautiful wood ceiling. The kitchen is open to the spacious family room addition, and has a built-in desk nook, white cabinets, granite counter tops and a breakfast bar with enough room to comfortably have 4 countertop stools. A slider door from the family room provides convenient access to the backyard. There is a good-sized separate dining room space, with two original corner built-ins for storage, adjacent to the kitchen. A one car attached garage with a cement floor, overhead storage options, and easy access into the invaluable mudroom space. The driveway provides additional parking options, and street parking is easy and allowed. A neutral half bath, a large coat closet and a pantry complete the first floor. Carpeted stairs lead to 3 carpeted bedrooms on the second floor. The sellers believe that there is hardwood under the carpets, but this would need to be verified. Large primary bedroom has one whole wall of closets and a second closet on the other side of the room. A door from the primary provides access to above the deck which could easily be converted to a usable deck space. The large hall bathroom has a shower, deep bathtub and a pedestal sink. In the second-floor hallway there is a deep linen closet and access to an attic, with pull-down stairs, for additional storage. The partially finished basement provides an additional family room space with its own working fireplace and great ceiling height. Additional finished flex space in the basement provides options for an in-home office, crafting space, exercise space, toy room, or anything you can imagine. Great additional closet space in the basement. The unfinished portion of the basement has a work bench, laundry (2019), mechanicals: including a water filtration system, sump pump and flood protector back-up system (2023), and a high efficiency furnace (2024). Overhead sewers further protect the home from water. Great private and fully fenced backyard space with grass, a beautiful garden that will bloom in the spring, and a patio perfect for outside dining and entertaining. Amazing location near schools, parks, public transportation, Old Orchard shopping center, Edens Expressway, restaurants, shops and so much more.
