Begin your tour on the welcoming front porch-the perfect spot for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or simply enjoying the charm of this established neighborhood. Step inside to find beautiful hardwood floors throughout and a traditional living room filled with character and natural light. The living room offers plenty of flexibility and could easily serve as a spacious great room for gathering and entertaining. Continue into the formal dining room, where built-in display shelves add both charm and functionality and provide the perfect setting for holiday dinners, family meals, or entertaining friends. A full bathroom on the main level adds an important convenience and functionality that is especially desirable in a historic home. The kitchen is warm and inviting, featuring rich wood cabinetry, built-in shelving, generous workspace, and a beautiful Tiffany-style stained-glass three-light fixture that serves as a true focal point. A large window fills the space with natural light and adds to the welcoming feel of this well-loved kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, each with its own character, including two with sunny bay windows that bring in an abundance of natural light and create inviting spaces to relax and unwind. You'll also find a convenient half bath on the second floor and a whole house fan. The dry basement offers valuable additional space for storage, hobbies, recreation, or future possibilities. The home also features an FMP Option 2 backflow prevention valve with pump, providing an added layer of protection and peace of mind. Outside, the property truly shines. The beautifully mature landscaping surrounds an oversized double lot, creating a private and inviting setting that is hard to find. The spacious deck is perfect for summer entertaining, morning coffee, grilling, or gathering with family and friends. An oversized, fully insulated two-car garage with durable epoxy flooring provides plenty of room for vehicles and storage, while the huge concrete driveway pad offers three additional parking spaces-an exceptional amount of parking for a historic Brookfield home. And then there's the location. Enjoy close proximity to Hollywood School, Riverside Brookfield High School, Brookfield Zoo, and the Metra Zoo Stop, making both daily life and commuting convenient. Kiwanis Park is nearby, offering Little League, the bandshell with weekly summer concerts, and the beautiful Oaks Savanna.
