Welcome to Highland Park- where historic charm meets modern living. Nestled in the heart of this beloved neighborhood, known for its vibrant community, walkability and urban convenience, this one-of-a-kind home is full of character you simply cant recreate. Thoughtfully renovated in 2018 by HK Architects, every detail was carefully designed and executed to preserve the homes original charm while blending in modern comforts. From the moment you arrive, the property makes a statement with its stunning custom bamboo fence and electric gate, offering both privacy and style. The inviting front porch is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. Inside, the home is rich with warmth and personality. The living room features abundant natural light , a wood-burning fireplace, original wood beams and plantation shutters that add timeless appeal. Beautiful wood built-ins with columns create a subtle separation into the spacious dining room, enhancing the homes architectural charm. The kitchen is truly a showstopper- seamlessly blending old and new with custom cabinetry, concrete countertops, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and an original wood plank accent wall that adds depth and character. The custom art piece, Art by Jeff Doud, sits behind the stove and adds a special touch to the already amazing kitchen. Just off the kitchen is a small covered deck. The main level offers three bedrooms, including the primary bedroom, a full bath with classic subway tile. One bedroom includes a walk-in closet with custom shelving, while the second provides flexible space perfect for a bedroom with a wardrobe, an office, or a guest room. Tucked away for privacy, the main level primary suite is generously sized with room for a sitting area, built-in storage, and a spa-like ensuite featuring a soaking tub, tile shower and a walk-in closet. The lower level adds even more living space with a cozy den, half bath and laundry room. One of the rarest finds in Highland Park, this property features both a two-car garage and an additional utility garage, offering exceptional storage, workshop space, or room for hobbies- something you simply dont come across often in this area. The pull-through driveway from Duncan Street to the rear alley provides unmatched convenience and ample parking. Additional features include built in speakers throughout the home, ample attic storage and a French drain system for added peace of mind. If youre looking for a home with true character, thoughtful updates, and functionality, this is it!! The buyer is responsible to do their due diligence to verify that all information is correct, accurate, and for obtaining any and all restrictions for the property.
