The story
- Basement
Welcome to this charming, spacious English Tudor in one of Flossmoor's most welcoming neighborhoods. Storybook character and Old-World craftsmanship meet modern upgrades in this roughly 3,000 sq. ft. home, highlighted by a fully renovated kitchen built for serious cooking. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a new farmhouse sink, 42- to 50-inch white cabinets, a custom backsplash, wood-look tile, shiplap shelving, a Viking stainless range with convection oven, an oversized stainless refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a second stainless oven. Original details remain throughout: the front door, built-in bookshelves, oak hardwood floors, two wood-burning fireplaces, arched hallways, a striking foyer, main level den/office, and leaded glass. New wood coffered ceilings give the living room a vintage finish. The layout is made for entertaining. A generous living room flows into the dining room and straight out to the headliner of the house. Screened porch, 16 x 18, with a skylight. This is the room everyone claims. Private, bright, and set apart from the street, it is finished for easy get-togethers. The skylight keeps it open and airy. French doors connect it to the dining room, so dinner moves outside without a production. Use it as an outdoor living room, a second dining space, a coffee spot, or the place the party actually stays. It is the feature guests remember, and the one owners use most. Upstairs has been expanded to three bedrooms, including a primary suite of about 548 sq. ft. with a walk-in closet and a separate closet. Location is hard to beat-just blocks from Millennium Park (0.4-mile path, Moss Memorial Garden, splash pad, soccer field, roller hockey rink, playground, picnic shelter, and grills), the H-F Racquet Club (pool and tennis/pickleball), and Nardoni Memorial Garden. Served by Western Avenue Elementary and Homewood-Flossmoor High School, a three-time National Blue Ribbon School (1983, 1996, 2002). Metra is within walking distance, with quick access to I-94/294/80 and I-57. Close to Irons Oaks Environmental Learning Center and minutes from Ravisloe Country Club, a Donald Ross public course ranked among Illinois' top classic and public-access courses.
