Wow. Now is your chance to own a J. Marion Gutnayer architect designed original, complete with 3 dimensional Redwood and Brick Pattern Work. 7033 Karlov was the model home for this neighborhood development. A Mid-Century masterpiece awaits in the heart of Lincolnwood. Situated on a street with many larger homes, this eye-catching property features a decorative Roman brick exterior, loads of floor to ceiling windows, unique exterior trim work, a covered front walkway and an interior courtyard/deck. A large tile floored entry welcomes you to the step-down living and dining rooms with huge windows (and custom Hunter Douglas window treatments), wood floors and recessed & new lighting with a little bling set the tone. Both the living and dining rooms open onto the interior courtyard, really an outdoor room, that is a wonderful additional space to enjoy for at least three seasons. Off the dining room is the galley kitchen with stainless steel appliances, eating area and easy access to a possible grilling station. Keep following the brick paver path outside the kitchen and you will get to the backyard with large patio and rectangular lawn area. Just a few steps down from the foyer is the large family room with lots of windows, another decorative Roman brick wall, and a good-sized alcove that makes a great exercise area, office, or guest area with the addition of a pull-out couch. There is a powder room on this level, along with storage and utility areas. The upstairs has a main bedroom with an updated en-suite bathroom, updated hall bath and two more bedrooms. All bedrooms have large closets with custom storage and two of the bedrooms have high up windows for ease of furniture arrangement. Wood floors on the second level too. Lincolnwood is served by a K-8 Todd/Lincoln elementary/middle school complex and Niles West High School. You are close to the Edens Expressway for access to the North Shore and Chicago. Enjoy biking, bird watching, fresh air, art, and more along the Lincolnwood Valley Lint Trail (connects the Sauganash Trail to the Skokie Valley Trail). Shopping abounds, with everything you could imagine just a short drive away on Touhy Ave. Lincolnwood is home to Prosel Park, Lou Malnati's Pizza, L'woods Tap and Pine Lodge, Psistaria Greek Taverna, and more. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own and love a very special home. Home Warranty Included.
