Welcome to the perfect blend of historic charm and modern living in this thoughtfully expanded 2-bed, 2-bath single family home, originally built in 1890. With two seamless additions, the open-concept layout offers a surprising sense of space and flow rarely found in the city. The updated kitchen is ready for your next dinner party or weeknight unwind, with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and smart storage solutions that make cooking and entertaining effortless. On the main floor, you'll also find a full bathroom with a sleek walk-in shower and a spacious bedroom with a wall of closets. Upstairs, the second floor is your private retreat in the trees- with vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows, and built-in storage that spans floor to ceiling. Step out onto your private terrace to sip coffee or catch a sunset. The fully updated en-suite bath features a large soaking tub, perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. The laundry room is conveniently tucked just outside the primary bedroom. The basement, with outdoor access, offers tons of bonus space for stashing seasonal gear. Out back, one of the largest paver patios in the neighborhood sets the stage for laid-back weekends and impromptu get-togethers. The built-in gas grill and above-ground heated pool with permanent equipment and a new liner make summer entertaining easy and fun. The yard is fully fenced with a 2 1/2 car garage, and easy alley access. All of this in a vibrant neighborhood close to transit, parks, and local favorites. An ideal central location, about 1/2 a mile from the Western Avenue Blue Line station, 1 mile from the Western Avenue Metra station, 1.5 miles from the United Center, 3.5 miles west of Willis Tower, 15 miles southeast of O'Hare International Airport, and approximately 5 miles from North Avenue Beach on Lake Michigan! This home brings together vintage character and everyday ease-it might be everything you're looking for!
