This historic Victorian home in Grant Park, masterfully restored by an award-winning builder for his family, is a blend of old-world style with modern comfort. Originally built circa 1920, it was fully remodeled in 2020 and was included in a city-wide tour of homes. The historic and nostalgic features still impress including the beautifully refinished 1920’s floors as well as distinctive double-sided fireplaces reconstructed with the original bricks. The gourmet kitchen includes a full suite of SubZero/Wolf/Cove appliances as well as a nugget ice maker. The custom cabinetry, quartz counters and butcher block walnut countertop on the island are both functional and beautiful. Filled with smart home features, you can control your lighting, whole home audio, alarm, cameras, HVAC, and more from your smartphone. The renovation focused on energy efficiency including spray foam and continuous insulation throughout (including the crawl space and attic) as well as energy efficient appliances, tankless water heater, and HVAC system. The health of the home's occupants was also heavily considered with whole home water filtration and UV light and heavy air filtration in the HVAC system. You’ll love the welcoming front porch with gas lighting, big back yard and off-street parking. Storage will not be a problem with a large shed in the back yard. Easily walkable to the zoo and tons of restaurants, you're also only a 15 minute drive to the airport. The history, personality and location of this home combined with state-of-the-art modern conveniences make it an ideal place to live.
