Cook, US
Beautifully maintained Craftsman-style home with Prairie-inspired influences, perfectly blending timeless architecture with modern upgrades in a truly storybook setting. Nestled on picturesque Lawton Road, this inviting residence welcomes you with a full-width front porch-ideal for relaxing while enjoying the peaceful surroundings just steps from downtown. Originally designed as a duplex and thoughtfully converted into a single-family home, this exceptional property earned recognition from Riverside's Olmsted Society for its meticulous transformation and architectural integrity. Extensive updates since 2020 include a new furnace and air conditioning system, a brand-new roof, and a fully paid-off solar panel system-offering both comfort and long-term energy savings. Rich architectural character is showcased throughout, with exposed beams, decorative half-timbering, and striking tapered columns set atop classic brick piers. The beautifully manicured grounds create a true backyard retreat, complete with a whimsical koi pond and professionally designed mature landscaping. A charming front walkway leads to a long paver driveway and remote-controlled gate, opening to an adorable detached two-car garage tucked at the rear of the lot. Inside, the open floor plan is ideal for today's lifestyle and entertaining. A dramatic three-sided fireplace anchors the living and dining spaces, creating warmth and visual appeal. The gourmet kitchen features maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and timeless finishes. Upstairs, dual staircases lead to four spacious bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with a spa-like bath offering a double vanity, whirlpool tub, and steam shower. The finished basement adds valuable living space with a recreation room and wine cellar. Throughout the home, vintage details such as hardwood floors, rich woodwork, and art glass doors add warmth and character. All of this in an unbeatable location-just a short distance to the Metra, library, restaurants, shops, and award-winning schools.
