| That’s a nice house. Looks like they kept the original appliances when they remodeled the kitchen in the ‘80s. I think that range is a Chambers. They have quite a cult following. -------------------------------- Life is short. Play with your dog.

| You have a good eye. It is a Chambers. quote: MAD MEN comes to Arlington Heights. You will swear Don or Betty Draper will be greeting you at the door. This 1950's dream has been preserved, restored and elevated. The attention to detail that the sellers brings to this home is a rare find. Sun-drenched living room with crab-orchard stone fireplace, hardwood flooring and sleek trim. Pass through the swinging kitchen door (yes, Hazel would be proud) and you are having breakfast with Beaver Cleaver. 1950's Chambers stove is pristine and the General Electric refrigerator is in perfect condition. Bath has been stylishly updated to keep in period. This home is spotless and has been meticulously maintained. Basement is a FULL basement. Updated electrical panel. Basement has a stand alone commode. The U shaped design results in courtyard that will not disappoint. Extended side apron on the drive for additional parking space. The location is another FANTASTIC feature. Rec Park - Marianos - Metra - downtown Arlington Heights are all located just blocks away. Windsor-South-Prospect schools. MID-CENTURY LOVERS - run , do not walk - this home is special.
No pictures of the bath in the listing; would love to see what they did. -------------------------------- We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then we return home. - Australian Aboriginal proverb

| Another nice house. https://www.zillow.com/homedet...-60004/3248627_zpid/What’s really special about it though, is that whoever shovels those walks and patios is really, really good at it. Those lines! Those edges! It’s a lot harder to do than it looks. -------------------------------- Life is short. Play with your dog.
