Straight out of a storybook (and the Chicago Magazine!) is this charming 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom English cottage in a fabulous walk to town location. The timeless arched front door welcomes you into the home with the soft arch details carried throughout the space. The first floor features new windows throughout letting in a lot of natural light and also has refinished hardwood floors and updated modern white molding. There is a spacious living room and an adjacent dining room that comfortably seats eight. Conveniently located across from the dining room is a functional kitchen with stainless steel appliances and ample prep and storage space. Two large bedrooms overlook the fenced backyard and share a full first floor bathroom. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with custom built-in cabinets, a full bathroom and a nook perfect for an office or crafting space. There is additional attic storage on either side of the nook. A finished basement with endangered pecky cyrus wood paneling provides an additional recreation space and includes a built-in custom banquette with storage. The spacious unfinished backroom serves as a laundry room with an extra deep double sink, workshop and storage space. Outside is a detached, oversized 2 car garage and connected shed perfect for additional lawn care storage. The convenient location of this home can't be beat - just a few blocks from the heart of downtown Elmhurst, East End park and pool, brand new Field Elementary school and highway access.
