Situated on sought-after Buena Avenue in Chicago's Buena Park, this sprawling 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom (plus sunroom!) residence is a rare 1920s gem and an extraordinary blend of history, elegance, and modern comfort. You'll open the front door and immediately feel the scale of this home. The foyer greets you with tall ceilings and gleaming oak hardwood floors. As you head into the oversized living room, you will notice custom built-ins, a cozy fireplace, Gilded Age style crown molding, and large windows overlooking tree-lined Buena Avenue. A French door leads you into the sunroom. This is the ideal place for working, reading, or crafting. Enormous original windows bring in so much natural light, and shelving makes the perfect place for storage of all kinds. Back into the living room and down the hallway, you'll make your way to the kitchen and dining space. Don't forget to look up as you go. The ceiling was hand-painted by the current owner in the trompe l'oeil style. This is a design detail that is truly special and one-of-a-kind. In the kitchen and dining area, southern light pours in through a wall of windows. The kitchen is updated for today with crisp white cabinetry, marble backsplash, and striking countertops. There is a convenient pantry for additional storage, and it includes a hookup for installing a washer and dryer (there is also free laundry in the basement). The open-concept layout makes entertaining a breeze: in the extra-large dining room, you'll have room for a buffet, 6-10 person table, and then some. Before you tour the bedrooms, be sure to take the back stairs down to the sprawling shared back patio and garden. This is a quiet place to enjoy a meal, read a book, or soak up some sun. This home offers three bedrooms, all with deep closets. Two of the bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom, each decked out in floor-to-ceiling subway tile and Duravit fixtures. The third bedroom boasts beautiful built-in bookcases, and a surprisingly large walk-in closet. 703 West Buena is an all-brick walk-up (dating back to the 1920s) in the most desirable pocket of Buena Park. The timeless building has a commanding entryway, convenient for mail and deliveries, and a traditional staircase with spindles that takes you up to the homes. From this address, you're steps away from the enchanting Peace Garden that guides to quick access of the lake (the underpass is just down the street), Montrose Harbor, a swift 8 minute drive on LSD to downtown Michigan Avenue, and many CTA stops. For groceries, take a short walk to Whole Foods, Target, Jewel, Aldi, and the neighborhood farmers market. You couldn't be closer to restaurants and bars (try The Green Mill for live jazz), and coffee shops (Dollop is around the corner), gyms, parks, Brennemann School, Disney Magnet School, and so much more. Welcome home.
