Top floor of the home has the perfect in-law/nanny one-bedroom apartment or can be rented out for extra income with separate utilities, full kitchen, dining area, large living room and in-unit laundry. This apartment has its own separate entrance and can also be accessed from the upper level of the home to integrate it within the main living areas. Many options to suit your lifestyle needs. If you are a nature lover, this home is for you. Relax on your massive 178 sq/ft front porch while enjoying the quiet tree-lined street of Kenmore or entertain on your 446 sq/ft back deck under the 125 yr old Mulberry tree or on the quaint side patio with its blue slate flagstones that were recovered from a mansion in Winnetka. The front, side and rear yards are filled with an abundance of foliage including a moss garden, Japanese maple, fiddlehead ferns and blue holly to name a few - a true oasis. Four car garage was custom-built in 2015 and designed to match the home and offers additional attic storage plus a pkg pad for a 5th car or guest pkg. 2 new furnaces and a hot water tank in 2016, 2 new A/Cs in 2021. New roof in 2013. Convenient one-key master lock system throughout. Wired for sound. This coveted Buena Park location is close to many restaurants and shopping and is just 5 minutes to the Wilson (Red & Purple lines) or under 10 mins to the Sheridan (Red line) stations or Lake Shore Drive to the east for easy access to downtown. Don't wait, this one won't last long as this is a very rare opportunity to own a piece of history in Chicago!
