About This Home

As of May 2025

The perfect property in the perfect location. Grand and spacious pre-war, two bed/two bath with modern updates on wide, tree-lined Paulina. Charm and beauty at every turn, starting with the tranquil courtyard and stunning all-brick building. Welcoming entry with high ceilings, crown molding and hardwood floors. You'll love the enormous and bright living room adorned with beautiful bookcases and windows on two sides. The large separate dining room offers incredible space to entertain and is steps from the updated kitchen with granite counters, gorgeous cabinets and hardware, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Truly ideal for anyone who likes to cook. Relax in the primary bedroom and updated en-suite bathroom with more south-facing windows and organized closets. The second bedroom is no afterthought. Large enough for a queen bed and several other pieces of furniture. Don't miss the second updated bath, combo washer/dryer and deck off of the kitchen. Additional in-building storage and plenty of parking rental options nearby. Truly central, just a few blocks to the CTA Irving Park and Montrose Brown Line stops, dining, shopping, and breweries in Ravenswood. Walk to Lincoln Square, Southport Corridor, and Wrigley! Ravenswood elementary, German School and Chicago Montessori are steps away, and abundant green space and playgrounds can be found throughout this wonderful neighborhood!
