Property Description
Visit this charming and lovingly maintained 1923 Cape Cod on Waukegan's north side. As you walk through the classic front porch and enter the home, feel the weight of the vintage wood front door. Admire the original oak hardwood floors, trim, and doors throughout the home. Imagine yourself sipping a hot chocolate in front of the cozy wood burning fireplace insert this winter. As summer heats up, the central AC (2022) will keep you cool as you enjoy your favorite book in the built in reading nook. As you make your way into the kitchen you will notice two built in china cabinets. Once in the kitchen you will find upgraded cherry tone cabinets, stylish counter tops, stainless steel appliances(2024), and a gorgeous stainless steel vent hood. Take a moment to appreciate the two generously sized bedrooms on the first floor separated by a recently remodeled bathroom. When you walk upstairs you will find the second floor adorned in tasteful knotty pine and six panel pine doors. Spend a moment in the generously sized rec room featuring an adjacent full bathroom which has also been recently remodeled. Check out both upstairs bedrooms with their ample closet space and admire the old world craftsmanship of the original built-in shelves, cabinets and drawers. The dormer windows fill both bedrooms with natural light that highlights the beauty of the refinished hardwood floors. Open the doors to the knee wall storage areas and imagine the organizing opportunities! On your way back downstairs stop in the basement and notice that while the home boasts solid 1920's construction, and classic brick walls, the electric panel is modern, the Carrier furnace (2022) is well maintained, and the Samsung washer and dryer were purchased in 2023. Don't forget to step outside to see the garage behind the 6 foot fence (2025) which fully encloses the backyard to keep pets safe. When the pets need more space to run, you will find the Callahan-Franklin Dog Park only 6 blocks away. If playgrounds, baseball diamonds or tennis courts are your thing, Bowen Park and Victory Park are less than one mile away. Vista Medical Center, shopping and transportation are nearby for your comfort and convenience. Location, old world charm, and modern functionality all in one package!
