Welcome to this timeless Cape Cod gem, nestled on one of the most picturesque tree-lined streets in the highly sought-after Field Park neighborhood of Western Springs. Situated on a stunning 80-foot-wide professionally landscaped lot, this sprawling home offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and classic appeal. As you step inside you are welcomed through the foyer that leads you to the large living area with fireplace ideal for chilly evenings or hosting game nights. However, the epicenter of this home is the expansive family room featuring vaulted, beamed ceilings, a second fireplace, and windows that fill the space with natural light and offer serene views of the backyard patio. Off the family room, a versatile library or home office with a wet bar that provides a perfect place to work or relax. The main level also includes a large formal dining room, a spacious eat-in kitchen overlooking the yard, and a large bedroom with a full bath-ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a convenient main-floor suite. Gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, enhancing the home's warmth and timeless appeal. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, ample closet space, separate hall storage and a cedar closet for additional storage. The finished basement includes a third fireplace, laundry, and additional storage.  This lovingly maintained home offers the rare combination of timeless architecture, incredible outdoor space with lush gardens, and an unbeatable location. Enjoy peace of mind with recent updates, including a new roof (2021) and HVAC (2024). Located steps to town, train, parks, and top-rated schools-Field Park Elementary, McClure Jr. High, and Lyons Township HS- this home offers an unmatched lifestyle in a truly walkable location.
