Dark And Moody Or Light And Airy, You Choose In Our Bishop Arts Splurge vs. Steal

Good homes near Bishop Arts are moving quick! But we found two that are currently on market and worth a look. Choose between a dark and moody splurge or a light and airy steal in this week’s Splurge vs. Steal.

Splurge: Cool And Contemporary In Bishop Arts

For starters, if you’re looking for a Bishop Arts remodel that mixes contemporary design with a vintage vibe, our splurge is it! In fact, it reminds us of Big Bang Theory actress Kaley Cuoco’s chic Hidden Hills abode, which is burning up #trending right now. And the midnight-hued exterior is only the beginning.

The four-bedroom, four-bathroom stunner stands out with its cedar beams and symmetry, anchored by three balconies for taking in the views. Inside, it has gorgeous hardwoods, beamed ceilings, contemporary fixtures, and an all new custom kitchen.

The culinary space offers a fresh twist that is anything but typical with its black appliances, rich gray cabinetry, and rustic wood accents. There is also a spacious basement, comfortable bedrooms, and upgraded baths throughout.

And just outside, is the real surprise! There is a fenced yard and unique hanger-inspired patio for entertaining a crowd. So much to see, so little time. Call your agent to schedule a showing now and take it all in. 

Blake Emert with First Fidelity Real Estate has listed 1010 Elsbeth Street for $631,500.

Steal: Winnetka Avenue Gem Steps From Entertainment  

Next, onto our steal! For $100,000 less, you could find yourself falling hard for this ideally located Winnetka Heights gem. It’s mere blocks from Bishop Arts and has a lot to love. This includes light and airy interiors, three-bedrooms, three-full-bathrooms, and plenty of space to entertain.

We love the wide and welcoming front porch and cheerful blue exterior with cedar shake accent.

Once inside, you’ll find pine hardwood floors, a calm neutral color palette, plantation shutters, and more.

And an oversized kitchen is at the heart of it all. It features a massive center island, ample white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. But that’s not all.

The master received a facelift too! The brand new spa bath is wrapped in designer tiles, plus it features a massive tub and seamless glass shower. The home also affords an upper level bonus room and fenced back lawn, just in time for spring and summer entertaining.

Lastly, per the listing, the property is located near the 12th Street Connector project. This means more green space and a giant park just outside your door. Run, don’t walk to catch this one folks!

Michelle Foreman with Dave Perry-Miller Park Cities has listed 316 S. Winnetka Avenue for $530,000.
