Historic Pullman District. Once a neglected 2 flat, now a spacious, functional single-family home. Transformed with great care and a dedication towards preserving the original floorplan and finishes, while creating a bright and modern space. Historic trim, interior doors and transoms were preserved or replaced with custom replicas throughout. Some historic elements were salvaged from a local building exchange. Through a welcoming foyer you enter the living room, which was enlarged by removing one wall, creating a library or office nook. Next to the powder room is a first-floor bedroom, currently used as a music room but could easily be a guest room. An open kitchen with pantry, stainless steel appliances, along with a beautiful antique stove and sink. Upstairs a large master bedroom and spacious bathroom with encaustic tile floor and vintage style tub. 2 additional bedrooms and laundry room complete the upstairs. Additional amenities: whole house water filtration system, zoned heating and exterior access basement. The exterior was repointed, the flat roof and mansard were replaced in 2016 along with completely new plumbing and electrical systems. In 2018, new historic replica windows, front door, storms and screens were installed. In the back yard is a patio, with outdoor fireplace, raised flower beds for gardening and a 2 car garage. A short distance to Metra, CTA and the expressways.
