This isn't just a house—it's the Merion Village lifestyle wrapped in curb appeal & character. From the moment you step onto the covered front porch, you'll feel right at home. Inside, the spacious living room is warm & inviting, anchored by the original fireplace & accented by beautifully restored hardwood floors & railings. The sun-filled dining room opens to a backyard view through sliding glass doors, creating the perfect backdrop for everyday meals or lively dinner parties. The updated kitchen is a true showpiece—stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, tile flooring, & an extended breakfast nook that's ideal as a coffee bar, breakfast space, or your personal spot to unwind. A counter-height peninsula offers casual seating, while generous cabinetry keeps everything in its place. Upstairs, you'll find three bright bedrooms, each with original hardwood floors, updated ceiling fans, & gorgeous period details like the original doors & hardware. The full bath blends old and new with a modern vanity, built-in linen closet, and hallway storage. The finished lower level space expands your living options—a cozy lounge, home office, or creative space—complete with a second full bath, laundry, & a dedicated workshop or hobby area. Outside, your private retreat awaits with a multi-level deck, patio, fully fenced yard & a garden-ready space by the garage, perfectly positioned for vegetables, fresh herbs, vibrant flowers, or a pollinator-friendly retreat. A two-car garage completes the package.And when you're ready to explore, you're just minutes from Schiller Park, Lindey's, Schmidt's Sausage Haus, Fox in the Snow Café, and an incredible lineup of local favorites. This home has it all—character, updates, & a location you'll fall in love with the moment you arrive.
