About This Home
As of July 2025Rare opportunity to own a charming Victorian-style home on historic Bernard Street! Located just steps from the heart of Logan Square's vibrant scene-brunch at Lula Cafe, summer farmers markets, and a host of restaurants and cafes-this home sits on an extra-wide 37 ft lot with a beautifully manicured lawn and welcoming front porch. Inside, vintage details meet thoughtful modern updates. The main floor features a gracious double parlor, formal dining room, a stylish powder room (renovated in 2015), and a sleek, updated kitchen with marble countertops (also 2015), a large island, stainless steel appliances, and direct access to a spacious rear deck (rebuilt in 2021), paved patio, and two-car garage. Upstairs, natural light pours into three generous bedrooms. The full bath was updated with timeless finishes, and there is ample closet space throughout the home. Additional highlights include the perfect combo of radiator heat and a SpacePak central air system, an unfinished basement with laundry and abundant storage, and a long list of recent upgrades: new roof (2011), boiler (2019), Trane 3-ton AC unit and air handler (2023), all new windows (2022-23), new front/back doors, and garage door (2022). Meticulously maintained by longtime owners, this home offers the rare blend of historic charm, modern convenience, and unbeatable location-just minutes to the Blue Line, the 606, 90/94, and everything Logan Square has to offer.
