Property Description

Sought-after CATHEDRAL Area! There is something about Vintage Charm that can NEVER be replaced with the "latest and greatest"! Step back in time and appreciate this endearing 1926 all Brick Bungalow which sits up high and is located on a quiet tree-lined street. Given the unique characteristics contained within ... you will SO appreciate the 9' ceilings, original 1 1/2" HW floor planks, French doors, sash windows, original pediments above doorways/windows, crown moldings, 7 1/4" baseboards, 4" casings, built-in linen closet and solid core 2-panel doors with glass doorknobs... ALL which speak story-like relevance to its passage in time! Embrace the homey vibe captured upon entering, from its darling entry to its English (lookout) basement; you will find everything you need and so much to love! Spacious living/gathering room w/decorative ceiling in-lay; generous sized dining room displays bead-board accent wall, crown molding and delightful built-in shelving! Family room (with 2 sets of French doors) has a lovely beamed ceiling and is surrounded with full panel hinged windows (timeless beauties that add to the overall charm!). The practical kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry + glass display cabinets that maintain the home's character, ample countertops, breakfast bar, stainless steel fridge, stove, vent hood and microwave (DW as-is), multiple windows, access to the walk-up attic and so much more! Perfectly positioned are the 2 generous sized bedrooms PLUS a full updated bath which is kissed with unique touches that preserve the timelessness of this home! Step on down to the lower English (lookout) level and find a bright laundry room (newer washer/dryer included) and original double-sided porcelain utility sink (faucet and drain hook-up "as-is") Around the corner opens up into a 3rd bedroom and HUGE rec room with above grade windows (allowing incredible potential for adding more bedrooms if desired). NOTE: Underneath ceiling tiles you will find most of the original 2"x8" floor joist, 1"x6" plank subflooring, and legendary 6"x6" timber beams! This home is equipped with a 100amp electrical service and central HVAC! The charm does not end there! Out back you will find a fully fenced sanctuary backyard (calming after a long day at work), a sizable paver brick patio w/ built-in seating walls + serving station, all of which are surrounded by nature's very own year-round privacy One word? ENCHANTING! Take the path leading to the 2 1/2 car garage (+ additional parking) and along the way you will find an adorable log cabin shed that can be used for storage OR a wonderful playhouse for little ones! Those who are attracted to the Cathedral area of Joliet are attracted to its historical lineage, nostalgic memories and the authentic charisma this community possesses. Conveniently located close to historic landmarks, local cafes, schools, shopping, restaurants, I-55, I-80, and all the amenities of Downtown Joliet.
