About 5618 N California Ave

Love mid century....then this house is definitely for you. Built in 1957, located in West Ridge/Budlong Woods, this brick bungalow has been lovingly cared for by the owner for over 60 years. Plaster walls with curved passages & original oak floors lend a stylish elegance. New ceramic tile in the kitchen flows through to the solarium , which has been updated recently with new flashing, flooring and the windows have been recently resealed. The exterior has had a top to bottom renovation, with a total tear off roof replaced with 30 year tile, full tuck pointing inside & out and new downspouts. Replacement windows that pull in for easy cleaning & doors were added several years ago and are in excellent condition. The kitchen is spacious & bright with original cabinets & hardware, new LG refrigerator, stove and GE low profile microwave and exhaust. For everyday dining, the kitchen has a custom made table, banquet benches and 2 chairs, which will remain. The adjoining solarium will be your destination for coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. This home has plenty of closets and custom built-in storage spaces. The rear bedroom on the main floor has a solid wood, custom built, Murphy bed (featuring a hydraulic lift for fingertip opening and closing) & adjoining desk, which folds up an entertainment space for a monitor or TV screen. There is new carpeting on the stairs to the basement where you will find additional custom built-ins, including a wet bar with cabinets & a bank of bookshelves and closets in the extra large family room. There is a full bath and large 4th bedroom with a bank of custom cabinetry/closets. Additional rooms in the basement include a work room with shelving that will remain, a work table with a vice grip & a pegboard tool wall. There is a laundry room with washer & dryer, right below the laundry chute. and there is more closet storage underneath the staircase. There is an additional room underneath the solarium. which leads to the outside, (traditionally used for storage of gardening equipment). Approx 6 years ago, the water heater was replaced. The furnace and AC have been given a 12 point cleaning & inspection. Recently plumbing work includes replacing the main drain in the kitchen, running a waterline for the water and ice maker for the new refrigerator, & replacing 2 of the toilets. The yard has a bank of cedar trees across the back, which gives a private and serene space. On the North & South walls of the yard are several varieties of mature grape vines on sturdy trellises. This home is bright, clean and freshly painted in light neutral colors and is move-in ready and waiting for you.
