Timeless Lakeview Victorian With Modern Elegance

Some homes are built. This one was kept. On a tree-lined Southport Corridor street, behind a beautifully restored wood-clapboard facade and a millwork front porch, 3744 North Bosworth is the rare Lakeview Victorian that survived the teardown era with its soul intact - and was thoughtfully updated to live the way you do now. Inside, three thousand six hundred square feet unfold across three light-filled levels. The heart of the home is the main floor: a gracious living and dining room for everything from Tuesday weekday dinners to holiday tables, flowing to a well-appointed kitchen with a breakfast nook, and an adjoining sitting room and a well-appointed office - the spot everyone gravitates to with coffee in hand. The family room extends from the kitchen, and the breakfast room overlooks the backyard. Out back, a deck large enough for real dinners overlooks a professionally landscaped garden anchored by an ornamental pear and a bluestone patio. Upstairs, a private primary suite is joined by two additional bedrooms and updated bathrooms - a quiet retreat above the action. The updated laundry room is nearby for convenience and the bonus room in back is a natural kids’ study/den area. And then there’s the difference-maker: an at-grade lower level that is not a basement. Sitting on grade, full of light, it offers a spacious family room and wet bar plus rooms that adapt to whatever season of life you’re in - a home gym, guest quarters, a teen or in-law retreat, even a return to two-unit living should you ever want it. Five bedrooms, three and one half bathrooms, a two-car garage, and a twenty-five by one hundred twenty-five lot complete the picture. All of it sits in the Blaine Elementary boundary, steps from acclaimed Southport Corridor shops, entertainment and restaurants, the Brown Line, and favorite Juniper Park just one block and one half away. This is the address buyers wait for -and the kind of character that once gone cannot be rebuilt.
