Property Description
This is a beautiful vintage home in the heart of Whiting! Only blocks from Whiting Park at Lake Michigan with a beach practically in your backyard and access to walking and bike paths right out your door. Located just minutes from the lake, this two-story, 4 bedroom, 2 bath home has lots of built in character on all levels of the home from the original hardwood floors to the custom built-ins throughout the house. Upon walking up to the large covered front porch, open for welcoming entertaining, you enter into an open sitting area perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh breezes off the lake from the many windows that bring light and air into the open large living room complete with fireplace. This then leads into a formal dining room with window seat to enjoy a book to read or a view of the spacious yard. Passing through the dining room you enter into a large kitchen with a center island that provides ample storage underneath. There is plenty of additional kitchen storage as well as a 6-burner commercial oven included. As you head upstairs you will find a large master bedroom, along with 3 other bedrooms one of which is currently used as an office but has served as a nursery as well and a full bathroom. Going into the lower level you will discover much more living space. The half basement offers a family room for great movie nights with a divided space for different activities. There is also a large laundry/storage area in the basement along with the second bathroom and a walk out basement to the backyard. The basement also includes plenty of storage in several areas including a large concrete bunker/workroom. As you walk out the basement to the fenced yard you will find plenty of different entertaining areas including patios, decks, "turf" lawn areas and a large garden with perennials and another "boxed" garden for more planting. A quick thirty-minute ride to downtown Chicago! Motivated seller!
