3932 Central Ave

Can you imagine spending your summer sipping delicious beverages on this perfectly positioned front porch, facing East to enjoy the morning sunshine or to hide in the shade from the peak of the hot afternoon sun, with a ceiling fan to keep you cool and retractable screen curtains for those moments you need them, all overlooking an "attractive and functional yard that conserves water and provides habitat for birds, butterflies and other beneficial wildlife" that has earned The Conservation Foundation's "Conservation At Home" designation?! From the brick paver path in the front to the shake shingles all the way around to the brick paver patio in the back, this house really is adorable. The charm continues inside with a fantastic blend of the vintage character and practical upgrades, like the original hardwood flooring and the recently renovated kitchen highlighted by quartzite counters, creative breakfast bar, and a surprisingly large walk-in pantry. The first level also includes a true Dining Room conveniently located off the Kitchen, a huge Living Room for this age of a home that clocks in at approximately 26 x 13 feet, a remodeled Full Bathroom, and a cozy Den that can be closed off from the main living spaces by two attractive glass doors and has a sliding glass door to the deck, with a fireplace in between them. The second level contains all 4 Bedrooms, an amazing amount of closet space, and a refreshed Full Bathroom. For additional living space, head down to the Basement's large Rec Room, a Bonus Room that makes a great home office, the Laundry/Utility Room, a designated Mud Room, and a Storage Room. If additional storage is needed, don't forget about the attic in the oversized, insulated, drywalled and HEATED 2 car garage with an abundance of off-street parking space. Top off the list of items to love with a stellar location in Old Town that is just blocks to Bemis Woods South, the train station, library, downtown Western Springs, schools, and multiple parks! Please take note that the majority of the windows are new and that the main water line into the house has recently been replaced.
