4537 N Keokuk Ave.

This Mayfair Park gem is a unique example of a Prairie Victorian farmhouse. The Keokuk House was built by the Manton family in 1895, back when Mayfair Park was farmland. Original stained glass windows, original lighting fixtures, carved woodwork and high-ceilings all reflect the elegance of another time blended with the practicality of 19th century prairie living. Sunlight falls on gleaming hardwood floors in freshly painted spacious rooms in an open floor plan. A heated back porch overlooks the garden and doubles as a den for movie night. Upstairs natural light continues in all 4 bedrooms, two with walk-in closets. The huge bathroom comes with an enameled vintage soaking tub. A full attic is plumbed with copper piping for buildout of an owner bed/bath suite. The neat and tidy basement offers a private office along with a nautical-worthy half bath. The basement back room is perfect as a workshop or home gym. Lastly, the fenced in back yard delivers on the promise of a city farmhouse. The private back patio was designed for entertaining and all season grilling and is ready with hot and cold plumbing, electricity and natural gas for your very own outdoor kitchen. A gravel path leads between prairie grasses and herb garden to the fire pit and vegetable garden. Here is your opportunity to own a piece of Mayfair Park history and live where you have ready access to the Metra train, the Montrose Blue Line stop, the Kennedy/Edens junction, the Irish American Heritage Center, Old Irving Brewery and soon to open Meta Wine. Tear-off roof in 2016, space-pac central air, all new copper plumbing, updated electrical and insulated new plaster walls throughout. SELLERS ARE ILLINOIS LICENSED REALTORS.
