This Prairie-style stunner has the character builders can't replicate. A wide, covered rear porch sets the tone for backyard barbeques. Hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, and built-in cabinetry take over the main floor. Sunlight pours through the windows into a sunroom built for slow mornings and second cups of coffee. Upstairs, three bedrooms give everyone their own corner to land. Just around the corner, Washington Park and the Root River offer green space, walking paths, and a place to unwind minutes from home. Lake Michigan's beaches and lakefront trail are a short drive away for weekend mornings by the water. Hardwood floors, a covered deck, and a porch made for watching the seasons change. This is more than a house. It's a place to put down roots.
