*MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED. PLEASE SUBMIT HIGHEST AND BEST BY 9 PM 12/19/22* Welcome home to this beautiful French Norman Cottage, located on a quiet one-way street in historic Blue Island. Built in 1941 and inspired by the French countryside, the current owners have maintained its original allure including arched doorways, kerfed windows, cove ceilings, plaster walls, and original hardwood flooring, while incorporating many modern updates. Situated on a large lot, with a full brick exterior, you can't help but fall in love with the quaint charm of this solidly built and well maintained home. Enter through the unique turret foyer and you'll find thoughtful neutral decor with newer paint, new carpet throughout (with the original hardwood floors beneath) an updated kitchen, first floor bedroom and half bath. Upstairs are 2 large bedrooms, under eaves storage and full bathroom. Head down to the completely dry basement and you'll find laundry, a workshop area, and exterior access. Enjoy the new composite deck overlooking the fully fenced in back yard and detached 2 car garage. Next to the garage is a large, paved parking pad which is the perfect area for a basketball hoop. If you're looking for a home with historical charm but with all the creature comforts of a present-day build, then this is it.
