Description

Originally built in the late 1890s, this charming brick single-family home was thoughtfully converted from a 2-Flat by its current owners in 1995. The current layout boasts 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Large windows and 10+ foot ceilings with exceptional natural light enhance the home's appeal. Perfectly located on a beautiful and quiet tree-lined street, this stunning home offers an inviting and functional floor plan. The gracious foyer leads to a spacious formal living and dining room, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and oversized windows with both southern and eastern exposure, flooding the space with natural light. The kitchen is a dream, complete with a large island with ample seating, cherry cabinetry, built-ins for abundant storage, and gorgeous granite countertops. The eat-in kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and a breakfast area. Beautiful oak hardwood flooring extends throughout the main and second levels, enhancing the home's elegance. A convenient half bath on the first floor adds to the home's functionality. On the lower level, there is a large family room and a guest suite with a full bath, and a separate generous laundry room with ample storage and workspace. The master suite on the upper level is a true retreat with high ceilings, a spa-like bath, a gas fireplace, and a walk-in closet. The second and third bedrooms are spacious and also feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a shared hall bath. Large patio doors open to a garden oasis, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The outdoor brick patio includes a built-in grill, flower planters, and a charming wood-burning fireplace, adding warmth and ambiance to your gatherings. Additionally, enjoy a roof deck over the two-car garage, which provides a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. The home is set back from the street, offering a beautiful front yard. Located in a quiet neighborhood with one-way streets that reduce traffic and noise, this home is just blocks away from great restaurants, shopping, bars, parks, and more. It's also close to the lakefront, the zoo, and the nature museum. The home is within the highly desirable Alcott Elementary School and Lincoln Park High School districts. This fabulous home combines the best of historic charm and modern updates, including original pocket shutters, original plaster molding in the living room, and two fireplaces-one wood-burning and one gas. Don't miss your chance to own this elegant, warm, and welcoming home in one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods.
