More Insights
Built in 1941 (85 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1941, the property has undergone extensive and very recent renovations. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, new stainless steel appliances (including a French door refrigerator and gas range), quartz countertops, and stylish subway tile backsplash. Both bathrooms are completely refreshed with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tiling (one with a glass-enclosed shower, the other with a tub/shower combo and hexagonal floor tiles). Hardwood floors are in excellent condition throughout, and the interior boasts fresh paint, modern light fixtures, and updated doors. The detached studio also appears newly finished. While the underlying infrastructure is older, the visible components and key areas (kitchen and baths) are virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.

About this home
In the heart of Glenview, 3945 Canon Ave is a classic bungalow with an unexpected second act: a terraced backyard designed for lingering. Start the day with coffee on the deck, host friends across layered patios, then follow the garden path to a detached studio at the top tier—perfect for a home office, art space, or quiet retreat. Inside, enjoy an updated kitchen and refreshed baths, plus flexible spaces that live like a 3-bed, 2-bath home—room to host, work, and reset. Well-defined rooms invite you to settle in at your own pace. Steps to Dimond Park’s trails and green space; moments from Park Blvd for Farmer Joe’s Marketplace, Paulista, and everyday neighborhood favorites—plus an annual block-party tradition. The listing agent has not independently verified the square footage of the property. Additionally, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms may differ from the information available in public records. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence to confirm all property details.
