Description
SOLD OFF MARKET. Just about every square inch of this stunning Lakeview home has been meticulously updated by a self-proclaimed "serial renovator!" This remarkable 5BR/3.5BA house that they purchased in 2015 is now filled with sensible and sensational creature comforts, inside and out. From the moment you walk through that grand front door you will notice the new wide plank, white oak floors throughout, custom moldings everywhere, and exquisite marble fireplace with elegant built-ins. This open floor plan creates a seamless flow throughout the home. The expansive dining area, adorned with a striking chandelier, has played host to countless memorable gatherings and cherished family Thanksgiving celebrations. Step into the large, up-to-the-minute all-white kitchen with its Quartz and Quartzite countertops, marble backsplash, and all high-end appliances by Viking, Sub-Zero and Bosch. Don't miss the undercounter wine fridge or generously sized pantry. The kitchen is open to a wonderful family room that extends directly out to the beautifully landscaped backyard and decks. The second floor feels light and airy thanks to high vaulted/cathedral ceilings and skylights. Here you will find 3 spacious bedrooms with the primary boasting another incredibly cozy fireplace (that the current owners added), a wall of windows with gorgeous views of the backyard, and a two-tiered walk-in closet with a tinted skylight to allow for plenty of sunlight without damaging effects on clothes and accessories. The convenience of a washer/dryer on the second floor is complemented by an additional laundry room two floors below. The lower level is an equally inviting space with a large great room with yet another fireplace and wet bar, 2 more good-sized bedrooms, and radiant heated floors in all rooms. There is more than ample closet and storage space on every level, plus a huge, easily accessed, unfinished attic under the eaves to stash even more! Stepping outside, you'll discover a sanctuary of relaxation and entertainment. There is one deck right off the kitchen that is great for grilling, a peaceful perennial garden for chilling, and a huge garage roof deck with permanent plants, dramatic lighting, and an ingenious programmable irrigation system. The front yard has one, too! This peaceful part of Wellington Avenue is tree-lined and lovely, and only a few blocks from many popular restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and public transportation. The CPS elementary school is close-by and the high school is the desirable Lincoln Park H.S. There is so much to love about this haven of a home in this enviable neighborhood.
