Welcome to a farmhouse in town. The historic Padgett House dates to 1893 & was the first structure built in Norwood Park. Initially surrounded by apple orchards, now just minutes to stores and restaurants, & the Grove Park Inn. This 2-story home includes a spacious front hall, living room with gas log fireplace, library, dining room, kitchen, and breakfast room. The passive solar porch warms the downstairs on sunny winter days & is a lovely space for morning coffee or an afternoon nap. A more recent addition houses a laundry room and office. Upstairs you will find a primary suite with a fireplace, bathroom, and dressing room, as well as two bedrooms and bathroom. 9-foot ceilings & large windows create a bright and airy feel with views to downtown. The house stands on a huge and private .65 acre lot and includes two guest units. Property can be subdivided, see site study. Restore this special home & pool & have a perfect in-town retreat to entertain family and friends. Sold as-is.
