About This Home
Welcome to a Home That's Been Truly Loved Tucked away on a peaceful side street in the heart of Avondale, just blocks from the Kennedy and minutes from the vibrant pulse of Logan Square, Roscoe Village, and Bucktown, this beautifully updated 3+ bedroom, 2-bath cottage is a rare blend of charm, comfort, and thoughtful upgrades. Step inside to sun-drenched interiors where natural light pours through bright exposures and skylights, dancing off rich hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout the entire home. The living room invites you to linger, framed by high ceilings, restored woodwork, and custom moldings, all wrapped in designer paint that elevates each space. The heart of the home-an updated kitchen-features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recently painted white cabinets that offer both beauty and function. From the sunroom, step out to a fully fenced, lush backyard oasis complete with a raspberry bush, a thriving vegetable garden, and space to unwind or entertain under the open sky. An included firepit means you can enjoy entertaining in the evenings across 3 of the 4 seasons. The primary bathroom has been tastefully remodeled, while the cool, updated second bath ensures comfort for guests or growing households. Downstairs, the partially finished basement-now equipped with drywall and new lighting-offers endless potential for expansion: think home office, gym, or cozy movie den. Just next door, a neighborhood play lot invites easy weekend fun, while nearby grocery stores, cafes, and some of Chicago's best-loved restaurants mean convenience is never far from home. The detached two-car garage adds another layer of practicality, completing a picture of city living that doesn't compromise on space, style, or soul. 2947 N Washtenaw isn't just a house-it's a home that's been genuinely cared for and it shows in every corner. Come see it for yourself-you won't be disappointed. Showings on March 1 between 10am - 1pm only. If the place doesn't sell after March 1st, we will accommodate other showing times.
