1140 N Kenilworth Avenue

Description

Nestled among mature trees and lush greenery, 1140 welcomes you to linger on the deep front front porch with a book or a friend. After entering the arched doorway into the foyer, so many rich architectural details capture your attention. The original terracotta tiles guide you into the sunken living room that takes your breath away. This brick English Tudor boasts historic millwork, a soaring cathedral ceiling with wooden beams, an impressive carved stone fireplace surround, and a 2-story iron and glass window. Overlooks from the staircase and the northern 2nd floor bedroom just further enhance the charm and character. The 1st floor has a circular flow that includes extras for modern living like an epic mudroom and a pantry closet. The 3rd floor primary suite is fantastic with an endless amount of custom closet space, a fireplace and tree top views. If you want to exercise at home, have a movie night or game night with friends, the finished and dry basement - complete with a full bathroom and kitchenette - offers space for all of that and more. The backyard is the cherry on top! With a brick garage that is accessible from both the alley and the driveway, you have options for guest cars, basketball games and garage projects. The grilling and dining areas sit on the brick paver patio, spill out to the lounge area, continue through the garden and grass area, then lead you back to the secluded fire pit. 1140 has rooms for everyone and outdoor spaces that beckon you to relax and connect. Perfectly located on Kenilworth parkway, steps from Mann Elementary School and Lindberg Park, with easy access to transportation, and downtown Oak Park and Chicago.
