This elegant Irvington home sits just steps away from Irving Park, seamlessly blending all the traditional elements of a classic Craftsman Bungalow with a contemporary aesthetic that breathes new life into its already enticing character. So many things stand out about this beautiful home but if there was a need to whittle it down to one word, it would be proportion. Unlike so many of it?s peers every single room benefits from being well-proportioned, from living room to dining room to each of the four bedrooms. Allocation of space was top of mind when the architect designed the home in 1924. The two main floor bedrooms are split by a sizable bathroom and accessed by a corridor on the other side of the stairwell allowing some distance from the hustle and bustle of the living area. An important feature for a young family. Upstairs a guest bathroom is again the division between a primary suite with three closets and a similarly sized guest bedroom that could comfortably double as a family or media room, or studio. The light-filled kitchen, given a recent facelift, with newly painted cabinets, new counters, sink, hardware and light fixtures, is a central fulcrum to both house and yard. An extended countertop comfortably seats four or pop over to the nook to the breakfast table. A single glass-paned door flanked by floor-to-ceiling fixed panes brings the outside in, allowing for entertaining to spill out onto the deck. The entire lot has been beautifully landscaped enhancing the light into the front of the home and maximizing usable space in the back. The beauty of this home lies in all the very best elements that it has been given from either end of its one-century existence. A beautiful example of old combining with new to create a very special home. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10214663]
