Nestled amidst a quiet and quaint neighborhood and close to all levels of education, the original CHARM and CHARACTER shine throughout this 3 bd/1.5 ba Sangamon Avenue home. Whip up a delicious meal in the recent addition of this gourmet kitchen (complete with soft close drawers, Jenn Air, and inset butcher block excellent for food prep.) Gather the family around the kitchen island for an inclusive cooking adventure! Abundance of storage throughout, this little gem creates quite a stir with professionally refinished original red oak floors, modern expertly painted rooms and walk-in closets. Enjoy your sunrise coffee in this 288 sq ft sunroom and by evening you'll be whisked away by the sounds of nature in the screened gazebo (avoiding mosquitoes) as you appreciate the koi in your built-in pond. The backyard and all four sides of this prized home burst alive each year with gorgeous, low maintenance perennials that would make a master gardener swoon. A privacy fence surrounds the yard creating your own unique clandestine Allerton. Additional storage in the backyard will hold your outdoor tools as a 8x10 shed awaits. The shade garden is a welcome mat of lush greens with pops of color galore. It is a beautiful addition to the home's side entrance into the sunroom. Head down to the basement where the second kitchen is waiting to come alive while the master craftsman bustles about in the workshop. Spacious basement storage tucked away for perhaps a flex fourth bedroom or office space? Be sure to visit the expansive walk-up attic with loads of potential for a secluded additional living space/getaway from reality. Don't let this surprise paradise escape!
