Property description
**Buyer Funding Fell Through! Back On The Market!** Incredible potential in this stunning Cathedral area home! The property boasts 4 spacious second-level bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 half baths. The fourth bedroom could be considered a second master suite and features a second staircase with shared access! The kitchen area is a blank canvas that's ready to customize with your personalized design choices! The first level also includes large family and living rooms, each with a wood burning fireplace. Additional main level rooms include a separate dining room and den off the main entry. The home features a large attic with pull down stairs and a partially finished basement and sits on just over a a half acre. It's a beautifully unique example of a 2 1/2 story symmetrical French Eclectic style home built cir. 1930. These influences can be seen in the through-the-cornice wall dormers, the hipped flat deck main roof, tooth-like dentils decorating the cornice and the well blended brick quoins at the corners, windows and doors. The home has a 1 1/2 story rear extending wing featuring matching through-the-cornice wall dormers. The home was first occupied by Dr. Mat Bloomfield and his family, who held the home in their possession for more than 30 years. Dr. Bloomfield was the President of the Will County Tuberculosis Committee and Chief of Staff for Silver Cross Hospital during his career. Don't miss out on this opportunity! Moments from shopping, schools, medical community, I-80/I-55! This property is being sold as-is.
