2946 NE 8TH AVE

Nestled under a captivating canopy in a stellar spot within the coveted Grant High School district, surrounded by historic homes and lush gardens, situated just a short stroll to Irving Park. Plus, a gloat-worthy commute to everywhere you want to go! Elevated off the street, the front lawn is a private oasis with sunlight filtered through the trees; people-watch from the privacy of your sheltered front porch. Enter the lovely living room and imagine evenings by the fire. Many original features have been retained, such as the oak flooring, dining room corner built-in and French paned front windows, while updates, including the dining room French doors, High Efficiency Gas Furnace, Central Air, PEX plumbing, water and sewer lines, and bathroom vanity make it shine. The quaint bathroom marries old and new, with a freshly refinished original tub and hexagonal tile floor. This very special fermette, a petite French country style cottage with storybook notes, has great flow, a spacious primary bedroom (bring your king, it will fit!), as well as a true 2nd bedroom that is great for a home office, guest or kiddo -- both on the main level! Rare indeed in a petite maison to have a dedicated dining room and a roomy remodeled kitchen with a farm style apron sink, quartz countertops, recessed and task lighting, stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and even a microwave - making meal prep a pleasure. The high-ceiling basement offers the next frontier to suit your fancy, allowing you to spread out and plan for future expansion. Plus there is plenty of storage, an included washer and dryer and a radon monitor. The driveway and gate lead to an extra concrete pad, great for a shed or secure parking while you're globe trotting. Step into the yard and look up into the trees - be transported! With an elevated vibe, this stucco classic reveals a homey abode you’ll be delighted to call your own! [Home Energy Score = 4.
