Description

Set on one of Glenview's most charming streets, this 1915 Craftsman strikes that rare balance - classic character, thoughtful updates, and a layout that still lives well day to day. Inside, abundant natural light highlights the home's beautifully preserved architectural details. The main level flows easily between spaces - a gracious entry opens to a generous living room anchored by a period fireplace, with French doors that lead straight out to the patio, hot tub and expansive yard beyond. The dining room sits comfortably between living and kitchen - open enough to feel connected, but still defined. The kitchen has been nicely updated with honed marble counters, shaker cabinetry, and a breakfast bar that's perfect for morning coffee, while the sink looks out to the beautifully landscaped garden beyond. Upstairs offers three spacious bedrooms and a full bath that is both stylish and true to the home's era, featuring a clawfoot tub, Carrara marble hex tile, wainscoting, and updated fixtures. Out back, the enormous terraced yard has been thoughtfully landscaped with a beautiful lawn, mature plants, vegetable planters, and space for gardening, all supported by an updated irrigation system. The patio and hot tub create a private retreat that's equally suited for hosting or relaxing. The lower level adds bonus space for whatever you need - office, gym, creative set-up, plus laundry and internal access to the garage. All of this just moments from Glenview and the Dimond -great neighborhood spots, easy 580 access, and a location that makes day-to-day life simple.
