About this home
This well-maintained brick Cape Cod has great curb appeal with a manicured lawn, classic red front door, and a large detached garage with private driveway. Hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas, with crown moldings, arched doorways, and ceiling fans adding character. The open layout flows naturally from the living and dining areas into a functional peninsula kitchen with access to a lovely back porch. The upper level has been architecturally designed and engineered to maximize every inch offering flexible space ideal as a primary suite, home studio, or creative retreat. Whether you're a musician, artist, or simply someone who appreciates a home with soul, this space delivers. The dry basement offers a huge recreation room with plenty of storage and a convenient half bath ... ready for whatever you need it to be. Central air, whole-house water filtration, a fenced yard, and a detached garage complete this lovingly cared-for home in the heart of Highland Park. Highest and best due Tuesday by 5:00
