Property Description
Rich in architectural character, this beautifully remodeled Lakewood Balmoral home on an extra-wide 42.5-foot lot showcases an exceptional collection of preserved period details. Live on one of the neighborhood's namesake streets, in a setting deeply rooted in the area's historic identity. Original millwork, stained glass windows, a built-ins, pocket door, transom windows, and graceful arched doorways pay tribute to the home's enduring craftsmanship, while refined updates complement its timeless appeal. The gracious living, dining, and family rooms seamlessly connect to a remodeled eat-in kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, a large center island, double ovens, high-end appliances, and abundant workspace. The kitchen and breakfast nook open directly to an oversized back porch and patio, creating an ideal setting for everyday living, outdoor dining, and effortless entertaining. The second level offers four spacious bedrooms, including a luxe primary suite with a walk-in closet and a beautifully spa-inspired bath complete with heated floors, a separate rain shower, and a soaking tub. The sun-filled top floor, highlighted by soaring beamed ceilings, serves as a fantastic recreation, media, or fitness space and offers exceptional flexibility as a potential fifth bedroom, guest suite, or kid's dream playroom. A convenient half bath is currently located on this level, with the potential to convert to a full bath. The unfinished basement features over 7-foot ceilings and a separate exterior entrance, presenting outstanding expansion potential. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with an oversized front porch and a professionally landscaped backyard featuring a bluestone paved patio with what may be original brick from Lakewood's historic streetscape. A two-car garage completes this exceptional property. Ideally located just three blocks from the Berwyn Red Line with convenient access to buses and Lake Shore Drive, and only steps from Andersonville's beloved cafes, restaurants, boutiques, fitness studios, the lakefront, and bike paths. Experience the best of historic charm, modern comfort, and one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods in the heart of Lakewood Balmoral. Located within the Peirce Elementary School District. Walkable to RPMS & Waldorf as well.
