Storybook Sears Cape Cod in the heart of Homewood! Step into timeless charm with this vintage 4-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod, a true 1930's Sears Roebuck catalog home thoughtfully updated for today's living. Classic details like hardwood floors, arched doorways and original wood panel doors pair beautifully with modern upgrades throughout. The generous living room welcomes you with a cozy wood-burning fireplace & double arched built-ins while the adjoining dining room offers the perfect setting for gatherings and everyday meals. The remodeled kitchen is a showpiece, featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a custom hood, floating shelves, and a charming corner cupboard. Two first-floor bedrooms share a stylish hall bath with mini hex tile flooring, subway tile tub surround, shiplap wainscoting, a darling pedestal sink, updated lighting, and a wood-detailed ceiling. Upstairs, you'll find a two bedrooms, currently used as a guest room/office and MBR alongside a skylit, updated bath with ceramic surround shower, modern flooring, and a floating vanity. Or that space could work as a MBR w/den/office instead of 2 BR's depending on your needs. The semi-finished basement offers a rec room, possible BR5/office, built-in cabinetry, laundry, work & tool room, and plenty of storage. Outside, the home's storybook brick-and-inset-stone exterior shines with a redesigned entry porch, arched refinished & refitted front door, and newer custom screen door. A patio, fenced yard and detached 1-car garage complete the package. Located just steps from downtown Homewood, the Metra, Irwin Park, and even Dairy Queen, this home blends vintage character with modern comfort in a perfect location.
