Property Description

After 35 years of wonderful memory-making, the current owner bids farewell to the home and neighborhood she loved and cared for deeply. The front door now opens to welcome the next, new owner to create those same life-long memories for themselves, their family and friends. The birthdays and holidays and special gatherings that will forever be etched on the albums of a life well lived. A classic early century front porch greets friends and guests with an updated luxury plank floor. The south-facing porch orientation expands the versatility of this space to extend well into the fall season and even moderate sunny winter days. Your first step inside lands a foot on freshly re-finished maple wood flooring so smooth and mellow you'll instinctively pause and take in the moment. Enjoy the efficiency of the main floor living and dining rooms coupled with the kitchen, full bath and den. The small back porch serves as a wonderful entry and air lock on those cold winter days. That same porch provides easy access to the oversized single-car garage (measuring 16 x 23 with a 12' wide overhead garage door). The garage offers a newer (2022) roof and siding. A dead-end alley access adds a level of privacy and convenience to one's routine coming and going. Two expansion/upper level bedrooms, one front and one back, both highlight and underscore a classic 1914 floorplan and also sport those same dreamy smooth wood floors. The basement is crisp and clean to make extra storage and regular laundry a bright and happy place. The electrical panel is a newer 100-amp service while the durable Weil-McLain boiler-style furnace is a workhorse and is serviced every year by a reputable local plumbing and heating company. Now, add to this sweet home a prime Como location 1/3 mile to Lake Como connecting miles of paved walking and biking paths. Restaurants, golf, Como Zoo and Conservatory, Como Regional Park Pool complex and the famous Cafesjian's Carousel are all 10 minutes or less. Affordable, easy to show and flexible possession. Treat yourself to a memory-making journey beginning with a personal tour.
