About This Home

As of March 2023

This is the house you have been waiting for, located on one of the best blocks in the heart of Old Irving Park! Built in 1908, this home has only had a handful of owners and has been lovingly cared for by its current owners for nearly four decades. From the moment you see the crescent moon shuttered windows, you will know you have found a truly special place. Comfortable main level features beautiful entry foyer, large living room, separate dining room, and recently renovated kitchen and enclosed back porch. Full sized side by side washer dryer on main level. 4 bedrooms and one recently renovated bath upstairs. Fully expandable attic has soaring ceiling heights and would be a natural expansion. Full unfinished basement. Fantastic grounds and gardens all curated and designed by the owner, a docent at Chicago Botanic Gardens, are home to many indigenous perennial plantings and a tree-house- ready maple tree that dates back to the turn of the century. There is no alley behind this property creating a picture perfect and private sanctuary. Visit and fall in love! Please note, property is being sold "as-is" and there is not the ability to build a garage.
