Beautifully updated and meticulously maintained 3 bed, 1.5 bath home in the heart of Forest Park, blending original 1909 character with modern systems and thoughtful upgrades throughout, including updated electrical and plumbing. This beauty features hardwood floors, much original woodwork, a classic staircase and newel post, custom white window shutters, and excellent natural light from newer tilt-in windows, including a brand new custom dining room window installed in 2025. The main level offers a three-season enclosed front porch and a sun-filled office or sunroom overlooking the fenced backyard, connected to the dining room by vintage rolled-glass interior windows. The kitchen boasts plenty of room for multiple cooks, space for a table or island, stainless appliances, and flows comfortably into the living and dining rooms. Outdoor living includes a Trex deck added in 2022, a low-maintenance perennial front garden, wildflower garden beside the detached two-car garage built in 2020 with butcher-block workbench and alley access, complemented by a newly installed permeable-paver green alley in 2024. Major improvements include new central AC (2022), a well-maintained roof (2016), proactive sewer maintenance every 2.5 years, and excellent ongoing care with documented service history. Ideally located just steps to the Blue Line, Forest Park Park District, pool, and Roos Recreation Center, walkable to Madison Street shops, restaurants, and Fitzgerald's, with quick access to I-290. A rare, move-in-ready home offering charm, space, beautiful outdoor space, and exceptional convenience.
