10752 S Washtenaw Ave.

This is an exceptional property! The home features a 125' private drive leading to a two-car garage - on a quiet street. The home and yard have extra privacy, because there is no alley and no parkway. Crandall built brick Cape Cod home located in West Beverly/West Morgan Park. The 4 Bedroom, 2 Bath home is all original, with no additions, and no rooms below grade. There is a lot of natural light. The plaster is in great condition, and the classic bathroom floor tiles are set in Portland cement. The downstairs has oak flooring throughout, and the upstairs has Douglas fir flooring. The upstairs layout is exceptionally flexible -- can be used as two bedrooms or a full suite with a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. Additionally, the large size, wood flooring, and natural light (including a bay dormer) in the upstairs front bedroom could make it a perfect studio. Cons: Some stains on wood flooring, a few sash chords need replacement, house roof is near the end of life, upstairs bathroom wall tile uneven, and some other things to be expected from a home of this age. There are some really nice classic features, including original glass doorknobs, mortised locks for interior doors - with original skeleton keys. The unfinished basement is not presented as an English basement, but it has both an interior entrance as well as an outside entrance, and a good amount of natural light -- with windows about 32" above ground with limestone sills. Also, the home is situated on a slight incline, so it is above the street.
