Description

Ideally located in a central walk-to-everything Lakeview location, this large single-family house built by Environs in 2000 - and recently expanded in 2022 - has room for everyone and everything. Thoughtfully designed with abundant storage, built-ins, and closet space, this house has that rare floor plan which accounts for working, playing, entertaining, and active day-to-day living. The first floor has a proper entry hall which opens to a bright living room with oversized windows overlooking the street; a large dining room; an island kitchen w/loads of cabinets, counter space, and separate breakfast area; and an open great room leading to the patio space, yard, and 2-car garage. The second floor has three bedrooms and 2 baths, including the primary suite w/fireplace, two walk-in closets, and private marble bath w/newly rebuilt shower, double-bowl vanity and separate tub. The loft-like third floor adds so much extra living space to the house with an enormous recreation room w/soaring skylit ceilings, another bedroom+bath, deck and a recently-added built-out office/bedroom. The lower level has another rec/play room, bedroom+bath, and even a large utility room ideal for art/workout/projects/mudroom or more storage. The house is in good shape with many updates, including: newer roof, newer upstairs furnace+A/C, back of the house rebuilt in 2018, newer water heater, newer refrigerator/freezer and stove/oven. Even so, the house is being offered pre-market as-is. A terrific opportunity to have a fabulous 5000 square-foot house in one of Chicago's best neighborhoods.
