Welcome to 231 S. Stewart Street, a rare and timeless gem located on a picturesque corner lot in one of Lombard's most sought-after historic neighborhoods, just a short walk to the award-winning elementary school, vibrant downtown, Metra train, library, and water park. You'll be impressed the moment you step onto the inviting enclosed front porch, and you'll fall in love upon entering the historically elegant foyer, where you're greeted by one of the home's two staircases and rich vintage character. This unique property blends beautifully restored architectural details with thoughtful modern upgrades, including solid hardwood floors, elegant baseboards and moldings, updated recessed lighting, and a bright bay window in the living room that fills the space with natural light. The charming living room flows effortlessly into a formal dining room featuring a built-in buffet that adds grace to any gathering, while the updated kitchen is a chef's delight with a center island with electric, ceramic tile backsplash, 42" cabinets with crown molding, coffee bar area, and a spacious eat-in nook framed by a bay window. Off the kitchen, a cozy family room with an all-brick wood-burning fireplace and raised hearth provides the perfect spot for relaxing evenings. This home offers nine total rooms, including four generously sized bedrooms-all conveniently located on the upper level-plus a study nook and two beautifully updated full bathrooms, one on each level. The second staircase adds function, convenience and charm. While the split-door entry off the kitchen leads to the partially finished basement, where you will be pleasantly surprised by the area that opens to a separate space ideal for a home office, playroom, or creative studio, a media/theater room with a automatic screen, along with a laundry area and plenty of storage. Step outside to a beautifully tiered 29' x 22' deck, renovated in 2020, overlooking a huge, lush yard with curated gardens and a storage shed, perfect for entertaining or a peaceful retreat. Completing the property is a spacious two-car garage with side-door entry. With its rare combination of location, character, space, and updates, this kind of home doesn't come around often! Come and see it for yourself and fall in love!
