Description

If You Love History, This Is the House for You! Welcome to one of the original homes in Miller Park, full of timeless charm and good bones. This 5-bedroom, 2-bath classic is located right across the street from Miller Park and the zoo, and just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and other daily conveniences-talk about the perfect location! Start your day with coffee or end it with a sunset view from the spacious front porch-the perfect spot for relaxing, people-watching, or visiting with neighbors. It's a true extension of the living space and adds to the warm, welcoming feel of this home. Step inside the grand entryway and you'll be greeted by stunning original woodwork, charming transom threshold windows throughout, and elegant columns salvaged from a house on the Wesleyan campus-each detail telling a story of craftsmanship and history. Upstairs, you'll find 4 big bedrooms with beautiful hardwood floors, and it's believed there's hardwood hidden beneath the carpeted areas just waiting to be uncovered. The layout also includes a first-floor primary suite, large closets (including a few cedar closets!), and a spacious kitchen-all combining comfort with character. Whether you're hosting holiday dinners or backyard barbecues, this home is perfect for celebrating family gatherings, and the deep yard offers room to relax, garden, or play. Need even more space? The large attic is ready to be finished to suit your vision-studio, guest room, or cozy retreat. A detached 2-car garage provides plenty of space for vehicles, storage, or even a workshop. The previous owner preserved a complete record of the home's ownership history, including a connection to artist Louis Burk. If you're a history lover, this home is a rare and delightful find! One-of-a-kind, full of personality, and in a location that has it all-this Miller Park gem is ready for its next chapter. Come be a part of its story!
