Welcome to this charming cottage filled with character in the heart of Libertyville. This adorable cottage was featured in a four-page spread in the summer 2021 issue of Midwest Living. The character has been preserved to highlight the original 1947 details whilst living with the amenities of a newer home. You will be charmed before you even step out of the car with the freshly painted original cedar siding, updated railings, and cedar decking. Entering into the enclosed front porch you will start feeling at home. The new porch is fully enclosed with brand new heated floors, adding another room of living space and a great place to read a book. Stepping into the home you will be greeted into the main living room with large open archways, built-in bookshelves, and the charm of the wood-burning fireplace. Off the living room, the dining room opens up onto an enclosed sun porch with charming french doors, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. The updated kitchen features a farm sink, quartzite countertops, and custom cabinetry. Two bedrooms on the first floor are more than spacious for your king-sized bed. The private hallway through the arch separates living from sleep quarters. The basement boasts yet another bedroom with an egress window, an office as well as a full bathroom, a large family room, and plenty of storage space with a bright laundry room. Back up the stairs and out the backdoor, you are welcomed into a green private backyard that is fully fenced with plenty of space for dogs and kids. Come and see the charm of this 1947 cottage within walking distance of everything Libertyville offers!
