This charming all-brick Garfield Park home will delight you with its unique features! There is a wealth of custom woodwork, lovingly created by a previous owner: a beautiful carved entry wall shelf and mirror; rich custom wood wall paneling; gorgeous carved fireplace mantel, flanked by built-in wall shelves and storage cabinets; and a fabulous storage bench below the front picture window. The open main room can accommodate both living area and dining space, arranged to match your entertaining style. Enlarged and remodeled over the years to include three bedrooms and two full renovated baths, this home also features a surprisingly roomy kitchen, with period wood cabinets extending to the ceiling, more counter space than typical in a home this size, and even a vintage electric range! To add to the charm, there's an adjoining breakfast room with custom built-in storage benches - enough room for the whole family! The secluded back yard has a handy patio with a light-filtering pergola above. On the practical side, the "drive-through" garage is large enough to park your car and still have plenty of space for workshop/storage - plus front and back overhead doors, exiting both to the driveway leading to the street, and to the alley in back. Metal storm shutters on all of the home's windows can be raised/lowered from inside. The basement laundry/utility room also provides space for storage or exercise. And, all of this is within an easy walk of Garfield Park, the Farmer's Market, Cafe Babette, Helm Coffee, and nearby restaurants - welcome home to your new neighborhood!
