About this House
Step into timeless elegance in this beautifully restored Chester Park home, where classic character meets thoughtful modern updates. Fall in love with the darling enclosed front porch, then enter through a warm and welcoming entryway adorned with newly installed William Morris wallpaper—a striking nod to the home's historic roots. The kitchen is a cook’s dream, featuring granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, gas stove, and double wall ovens. Just off the kitchen, enjoy a brand-new composite porch—perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The main level also includes a formal dining room that flows into a large but cozy living room with a newer gas fireplace, creating a perfect space for both entertaining and relaxing. Upstairs, discover three inviting bedrooms with charming details, peekaboo views of Lake Superior, and a porch off the primary bedroom for your own private retreat. The renovated full bathroom blends vintage style with fresh, modern finishes. The lower level adds even more functionality with a new drain tile system, 200 amp electrical service, a new furnace, and ADT security wiring. A vintage bar remains intact, complemented by a spacious family rec area and generous storage space. Out back, a two-car garage sits off the alley, accompanied by a brand-new asphalt parking pad. Beautiful perennial gardens guide you from the parking area to the home’s rear entry, adding a splash of color and serenity to your everyday experience. This home is a rare blend of character, comfort, and convenience—perfectly nestled in the heart of Chester Park. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a true neighborhood gem!
