STRAIGHT OUT OF A FAIRYTALE! Blending historic architecture with vintage & traditional LUXURY, you will FALL IN LOVE with this beautiful brick Tudor nestled in one of Waukegan's oldest and beloved neighborhoods, the Near North Historic District! Walk through the front entryway - protected by steep masonry, arched openings, intricate stone flooring, and decorated hardware- and into the dramatic foyer. The more traditional the home, the more dramatic and bold it is - and this home is BOLD! The imported paint adorning the walls, the grand staircase, chandeliers, glass French & solid wood doors, elaborately carved woodwork and trim, wrought iron hinges, knockers, and handles - you won't find anything else like THIS! The first floor features a large formal living room with limestone fireplace, formal dining room, family room, sunken office or sun room, half bath, and kitchen. The kitchen was recently updated with new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances. Second floor holds one full bathroom and three bedrooms - one with walk-out access to second story terrace overlooking the backyard. Basement is unfinished but still useable, with plenty of storage, cedar closets, and space to make it your own! The backyard is ENCHANTING - lush beautiful greenery, full blooming flowers, fairy-lights, small pond and fountain, new brick paver patio, large deck, mature trees, providing plenty of peace, privacy, and magic to escape from the outside world. A charming neighborhood lined with mature trees, little traffic, and easy access to public transit, award-winning parks, walking paths, Genesee Theatre, Metra, Waukegan Harbor and beachfront, downtown Waukegan, local restaurants and grocery stores! Almost 100 years old and not a wrinkle in sight! This beauty has all the essential updates while still preserving the original beauty and craftsmanship of the home.
