Nestled right next to Schiller Park, this Italianate brick residence delivers the best of German Village living--pairing a spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout with a private outdoor living area and a highly coveted detached 2-car garage. The restored side-entry portico showcases side-by-side front doors, one originally serving as a private entrance to the parlor. The main floor offers great circulation with two staircases: an intricately carved staircase in the grand foyer entrance and a convenient rear stairway off the kitchen and family room. Expansive sun-drenched living areas are highlighted by multiple fireplaces, high ceilings, gorgeous red oak hardwood floors, and exposed brick. The heart of the home is a fully renovated chef's kitchen anchored by custom wood cabinetry, a massive marble island complete with storage, high-end stainless-steel appliances, and a charming built-in window seat. Radiant heated floors bring modern comfort to the space, while salvaged historic train station glass and pendant lights add a touch of local heritage. A convenient powder room and dedicated laundry station round out the main floor. The second floor offers three bright bedrooms and two updated full bathrooms, along with abundant closet space and custom built-in storage. The primary bath features a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, Victorian clawfoot soaking tub, and classic period tile flooring. The rear of the property transitions into a secluded, low-maintenance brick-paver courtyard that seamlessly connects the main house to a private 2-car garage--a rare luxury for this historic area. This home proudly displays a historic plaque of the prestigious Haus und Garten Tour and is located in the immediate vicinity of everything German Village has to offer.
