The owner's vision is evident in every inch of this superbly crafted, custom-built 2-story home, only 17 years young and constructed with a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. Situated on a double lot with a side drive in the popular Central Stickney location, this impressive residence welcomes you with an attractive all-face brick exterior and a distinctive roofline accented by twin front dormers. Inside, you'll find three levels of living space featuring real hardwood flooring and solid oak 6-panel doors throughout the main and upper levels. The main floor offers a spacious living room with recessed lighting that flows into a thoughtfully designed kitchen with an adjacent dining area, along with a convenient first-floor bedroom. Upstairs, discover a second living area featuring a vaulted recreation room with a bay window, plus two additional bedrooms. Sliding doors from both levels lead to a virtually irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind custom double steel deck inspired by Chicago Cubs baseball park architecture - an incredible setting for outdoor entertaining, gatherings, and summer parties. The semi-finished lookout basement features triple-wall construction. The original cinder-block foundation was encased within a poured concrete foundation, with an interior face-brick finish. This level provides a spacious family room complete with a bar and an included 1950 Brunswick pool table, along with a waterproofing system - backflow valve vault located behind the bar. An additional utility/storage room provides ample space for all your storage needs. Built to last, the home features a roof with 45-year architectural shingles, an oversized 4-ton central air system, and a 4.5-ton compressor. Outside, an extra-wide concrete driveway leads to a brick 2.5-car garage, all situated within a fully fenced yard.
