About This Home

As of May 2024

Located on a tree-lined, one-way block in red-hot Avondale, this spacious single-family home (on an extra-long lot - 127x25) is a home to remember. The entire 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom house has been recently renovated - it's truly picture-perfect! - & meticulously cared for over the years. As you first take in the restored home, you will note the charming front porch & porch swing. Spend warm summer nights unwinding over a glass of wine or catching up with your neighbors over a porch beer. Enter through the front door, & you will be welcomed inside by an accent wall with whimsical wallpaper. Explore the living room & take note of the tall ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, original woodwork, & sunshine filling the space thanks to west, south & north exposures. The main level offers a thoughtful open-concept floor plan with a full dining space - it is a dream for entertaining. In the chic & large kitchen, marvel over the grey soft-close cabinets, timeless subway tile, floating shelves, on-trend lighting fixture, luxe quartz countertops, & stainless appliances. There is no shortage of storage space here! The first floor is complete with a small bedroom with an ensuite full bathroom - perfect for an office space or guest room. Upstairs, you'll first take note of the tall ceiling height throughout thanks to the thoughtful dormers - no ducking required here! First, explore the primary bedroom - this room is large enough to fit a king-sized bed & has a massive walk-in closet + additional closet, & ensuite bathroom. The bathroom is what dreams are made of: a dual vanity with marble countertops, black & white ribbon tile throughout, trendy light fixtures, a soaking tub & a separate standing shower. Next, tour the second bedroom, which is large enough to accommodate a queen-sized bed. It also boasts a large closet outfitted with built-in organizers. Rounding out the top floor is the laundry room - no need to traverse all the way to the basement with your loads of laundry! Next, you will visit the finished lower level. This is not your average Chicago basement, thanks to the extra-tall ceilings, heated floors, & natural light streaming in through the large windows. Here, you'll find the fourth bedroom with a built-in Murphy bed/desk combo & a massive storage closet. Next, take in the second living room with a moody wet bar, built-in shelves, & a playhouse. Rounding out the basement is another full bathroom & a sump pump to stay dry all year long. On your way outside, don't miss the enclosed porch, which functions conveniently as a mudroom & additional storage space. Outside, discover a sunny backyard enclosed by a fence & boasting an expansive patio, pristine landscaping (new sod was just put in last year!), & a 2-car garage that's equipped with Bluetooth. There's plenty of room for a dining table & seating area on the patio - hello, al fresco dining! Last but not least, this home is equipped with modern touches like central heat & air. You'll fall for this one-of-a-kind home, & the neighborhood as well -- you are minutes away from the river walking trail, delicious restaurants (try Smoque Steak or Honey Butter Fried Chicken), public transportation & 90/94. Welcome home!
