Wonderfully updated, solid brick home in a great neighborhood. Do not be deceived by the front of this house. It includes over 2500 sq. feet of well-designed living space. The warm and inviting home includes a beautiful open kitchen with natural cherry cabinetry, high-end stainless appliances, granite countertops, a moveable island, breakfast bar, and an eat-in area. The first floor also includes a formal living room with gas fireplace, built-in bookshelves and bay window, a separate dining room, a spacious family room, mudroom, and powder room. On the second floor you will find a sunny master bedroom suite. The en suite boasts an oversized shower, heated floors, plenty of storage, and a walk-in closet. In addition to the master suite, there is second suite that would work well for a caretaker, in-law, or guests. A third full bath is in the hallway as well as two more nice-sized bedrooms, and second floor laundry. In the basement, you will find another comfortable recreation space with fireplace, utility room, work room, and storage. The mechanicals include a new sump pump (2019), a whole house humidifier, and whole house air filter. The professionally landscaped yard is a welcome retreat with deck, patio, and fire circle. There are no overhanging power lines as the owners had them buried. The yard has an in-ground sprinkler system and a newer fence, too. A 2.5 car garage with a storage attic is accessed from the alley, and a 1 car attached garage is facing Forest Ave. This home is just across the alley from Mann School and Field Park! Truly a gem.
