32 Lawndale ST

A beautiful piece of 1928 architecture, thoughtfully updated while preserving the character that makes homes like this so special! Situated on a landscaped corner lot just a block from the Illinois border, this stunning 3 bedroom 2 bathroom two story is full of timeless details and inviting spaces. From the moment you approach the front porch, you'll appreciate the craftsmanship and personality of this home. Step inside to a spacious foyer showcasing beautiful hardwood floors and an elegant staircase, complete with a stained glass window. The oversized living room features a gas fireplace, while the formal dining room offers beautiful wainscoting, a statement chandelier, and plenty of room for entertaining. The remodeled kitchen complements the home's original architecture, featuring soft-close Medallion cabinetry, granite countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, and a charming built-in breakfast nook with bench storage. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms including a spacious primary bedroom with double closets, a window seat, and hardwood flooring beneath the carpeting. Completing the second floor is a full bathroom with a custom tiled shower and a bathtub refinished in 2026. The unfinished basement provides additional storage space along with a convenient three quarter bathroom. Outside, the professionally landscaped lot is just as special as the interior! The backyard feels like a private garden retreat featuring a new (2024) 6 foot vinyl privacy fence and stamped concrete walkway (2024) leading to the detached 2.5 car garage. Additional improvements include a new water heater in 2022 and air conditioning serviced in 2024. Conveniently located near the Illinois state line and the new South Shore Line Hammond Gateway Station, this home offers an ideal location for commuters. Nearly a century of character, thoughtful updates, and the kind of details you simply don't find in newer construction. This is a home worth experiencing in person!
