This charm-packed Craftsman is alive with character. Sitting proudly up off the street, its broad front porch, sweeping roofline, and Arts & Crafts beams offer a hint of what’s inside. Step through the original glass front door to discover wood floors, a fireplace with original brick and handsome mantle, flanked by leaded glass built-ins. Throughout the main floor, you’ll find more built-ins, coved ceilings, period lighting, and a circular floor plan that adds ease and flow. The kitchen blends vintage charm with modern function, featuring custom details, slate counters, a recessed fridge, gas range, and dishwasher. A chalkboard wall adds a fun, practical touch for family notes. A formal dining room, 1 bedroom, and a full bath with tile counters, tile floors, and a built-in vanity complete the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find more wood floors, 2 charming bedrooms, and a large, light-filled bathroom with extensive tile and a glass shower surround. The primary bedroom includes custom-built closets with shelving and automatic lighting. The basement is a blank canvas, open and generous in size, with a 2nd fireplace, good ceiling height (ductwork is already tucked up!), laundry area, and an exterior entrance ideal for bringing in bikes or gear. Out front, the welcoming porch with pull-down shade is perfect for a quiet moment, a shared drink, or waving to neighbors as the day winds down. The private backyard with a gravel patio is perfect for alfresco hosting. Long driveway and garage offer ample off-street parking. Important improvements include; new AC, new furnace, new plumbing, and full exterior insulation. Upgrades you can’t see, but can feel and offer peace of mind. Located in the heart of Mt. Tabor, just 1.5 blocks from Glencoe Elementary, near both Mt. Tabor and Franklin schools. Set on a residential block just beyond the bustle, while still within easy reach of the area’s vibrant shops and cafes. A true Gem! HES7
