What This House Offers
Opportunity knocks in the heart of Highland Park. Behind a charming facade framed by mature landscaping and a welcoming brick patio, this character-filled home immediately invites you in with its light-filled interiors and a beautifully renovated kitchen, while a private guest apartment with its own separate entrance come together to offer exceptional flexibility. The open living and dining spaces flow seamlessly into the updated kitchen featuring sage-green cabinetry, butcher-block countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. Just beyond, a versatile den provides the perfect space for a home office, playroom, or cozy reading nook. The primary and second bedrooms offer comfortable, light-filled retreats, each with room to relax and unwind. A beautifully renovated bathroom features crisp white tile, matte black fixtures, and a clean, timeless design.
