About This Home
As of June 2024Come see this elegant, sun-filled worker's cottage nestled comfortably on beautiful & quaint Maplewood Avenue. The handsome brick facade combined with the impressive interior, beautiful details throughout & story-book backyard make this a must-see! This rehabbed home boasts a functional layout on all three levels. The main level offers an ample family room & dining area that both blend seamlessly into a modern & open chef's kitchen with tall, newly refinished cabinets, an oversized island & top-of-the line stainless steel appliances. A comfy, versatile space flanks the kitchen, providing multiple options - breakfast nook, play area, reading room, office space, etc. There are two en suite upstairs bedrooms: a huge, luxurious primary suite that adjoins a spa-like bathroom with a dual vanity, huge shower stall & soaking tub while the 2nd upstairs bedroom is generously sized with ample sun flowing in from large, east-facing windows. The fully finished basement adds an additional level of living space with a living room/recreation room outfitted with a wet-bar & wine fridge - perfect for entertaining & relaxing. The lower level also includes a 3rd & 4th bedroom, another full bathroom, a large laundry room & additional storage. A roomy, refinished back deck & lush, freshly landscaped backyard create a beautiful city retreat. Other highlights include a brand new A/C unit, a two-car garage, hardwood floors on the main level & upper level, polished concrete on the lower level, oversized windows throughout, new lighting fixtures & a rustic, gas fireplace. Convenience abounds with this prime location - a short walk to North Ave., Maplewood Park, Humboldt Park, the 606, the Western Blue Line stop & Wicker Park's abundant boutiques, restaurants, bars, nightlife & art galleries. Showings will begin in the 2nd week of June.
