Description
Step into Chicago history on one of the city's most enchanting and historic blocks, Alta Vista Terrace. Tucked away in Lakeview, this stately rowhome offers exceptional livability and walkability in an iconic setting. Designed by Joseph C. Brompton, and developed by Samuel Ebberly Gross from 1900-1904 as one of his last developments, each of the 40 London-style rowhomes have an identical residence diagonally from it with their own unique architectural features (this home and its twin are most notable for their central Palladian windows on the second floor). Built in 1901 and rich in original architectural details, the home features beautifully preserved millwork, hardwood floors, and period moldings throughout. The living room features tall ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and a stunning bay window looking out onto the street and amazing western sunlight. The kitchen was reimagined into an open concept kitchen/dining area with custom cabinetry, Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island perfect for entertaining. Hidden behind a bookcase on the main level is a half bath that has been thoughtfully added to complement the home's historic charm. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms, all with excellent closet space, and a full bath. A rare feature found in this home, that only four other homes on the street have, is a full roof deck, accessible via a full flight of stairs from inside the house (no spiral or exterior staircases). The roofdeck offers amazing views of the city, and is complete with water, gas and electricity... not to mention, the deck itself was constructed with low maintenance composite decking, offering an unexpected outdoor retreat. Downstairs, the garden level is fully finished with a full bath, office or mudroom area, and has a spacious bedroom and walk-in closet, perfect for guests or use for flexible living space. Another uncommon feature this house has that very few other homes on the block have--an attached 1 car garage. The garage could be used for a small vehicle, additional storage, or close it into another living space. Free parking is also available to Alta Vista Terrace residents at the Wrigley Field Camry Lot, or street permit parking zone 383. From time to time, other private parking spaces can be rented on the next block over. If cars aren't your thing, public transit is a breeze with access to the Sheridan Red Line Station just a block and a half away, Clark Street buses, and Sheridan 151 Bus. Wrigley Field is just two blocks away, surrounded by some of the best restaurants and nightlife on Clark Street. Other neighborhood favorites include PR Italian Bistro, Breakfast House, and The Bake House, just around the corner. Whether you're looking to put down roots or invest in a one-of-a-kind piece of Chicago history, this home offers a special opportunity to own on "A Street of Forty Doors."
