Description
In one of the most charming corners of Glenview, this 1922 Bungalow beautifully balances original character with thoughtful, modern updates. Not to be missed is the gorgeous office/studio in the garden - a labor of love that the Sellers cherished. First, let’s step through the vintage foyer and discover all the gems of the Main home…The inviting living room is anchored by a brick fireplace with gas insert and original built-in cabinetry, and flows easily into a generous dining room where many memories will be made with family and friends over casual and sumptuous holiday meals. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home—sunlit, beautifully designed, and exceptionally inspiring. A large window overlooks the garden, while a glass door opens directly to the deck for easy breezy outdoor dining and entertaining. A generous island, stone countertops, custom cabinetry, Bertazzoni gas range, a wine fridge (conveniently in reach of the deck) and dedicated baking and coffee stations make this a kitchen that functions as beautifully as it looks. 2 bedrooms and a full bath with soaking tub complete the main level. Downstairs, the primary suite feels wonderfully private, with a gorgeous spa-inspired bath featuring a double vanity and oversized tiled walk-in shower. And there’s no shortage of storage—every bedroom has large, well-organized closets. The laundry room is equally practical, with built-in cabinetry, a laundry chute, and direct access to the backyard. A heat pump provides efficient heating and cooling throughout the home, adding another luxurious modern upgrade. Outside, the recently renovated garden feels like a private retreat, with a lush lawn, patio, covered deck, and beautifully crafted wood fencing. There’s plenty of room to play, garden, entertain, or simply relax onto the deck with a glass of rosé and a good book. Just beyond the garden is a newly built (with permits)office with a half bath. High ceilings, tall windows, modern wood flooring, and a mini-split for heat and cooling make it an exceptional work-from-home space—and an equally inviting guest suite. Less than 2 blocks from all the delightful restaurants and amenities along Park Blvd with Glenview Elementary, bus lines, casual carpool pick up, and quick and easy access to hwy 580 and hwy 13 just minutes away. www.1163elcentro.com has it all - Original character, beautifully considered updates, exceptional functionality, and a wonderful garden setting—all in the heart of Glenview.
