A South Shore Classic - Where Timeless Craftsmanship Meets Modern Comfort Do not let your eyes deceive you-this is not a gut rehab. This is an old-school South Shore stucco, plaster, and lath home with plenty of nicely done updates. It retains its original 16-inch thick concrete-reinforced walls, a true fortress built to last. While the home embraces its old-school craftsmanship, it also features a host of thoughtful updates that blend modern convenience with historic charm. Inside, you'll find 2.5 beautifully remodeled bathrooms, a new stunning Euro-style fully equipped gourmet chef's kitchen outfitted with all the bells and whistles equipped for all those high-end five-star Michelin chefs in your home, and a modern elegance lighting package that enhances the home's character. The property is equipped with forced air heating, two furnaces, and central air, ensuring year-round comfort. This home is bathed in natural light, thanks to an abundance of oversized windows that highlight the refined architectural details. One of this home's most unique features is its four sunrooms-two on the main level and TWO second FLOOR BEDROOMS HAVE THERE OWN PRIVATE sunroom studies off the massive second-floor. The primary suite is a true retreat, boasting a bay window and a luxurious en-suite bath with a jacuzzi tub. Unlike many homes in the area, this true 2,800 sq. ft. two-story home does not include attic or basement living space. However, the 1,500 sq. ft. unfinished basement with 7-foot ceilings is a blank canvas, ready for your personal touch. A spacious 2.5-car brick garage adds to the home's functionality. Nestled on a beautiful block lined with proud homeowners, this property offers a sense of community and stability. A Catholic school with an excellent Pre-K program sits just down the street, and the home is less than a mile from the lakefront, South Shore Cultural Center, golf courses, museums, parks, universities of higher learning, and Lake Shore Drive-perfect for those who appreciate easy access to nature and city conveniences. You'll also find countless cafes, restaurants, and entertainment options just steps away, making this home the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and vibrant city living. With original trim, rich woodwork, and minimal drywall, this home embodies a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today. If you're looking for a home that's built to stand the test of time while offering modern upgrades, this is the one.
