Description
This stunning 3 bed, 2 bath Victorian cottage in the absolutely ideal North Center location exudes pride of ownership and attention to detail. The house has been lovingly maintained, tastefully updated and rehabbed by the current owners nearly every year while still preserving the vintage features and charm. Starting with the inviting, extra-large foyer, there are striking details wherever you look: dramatic 10 foot ceilings, arched entryways, re-finished original doors and hardwood floors, crown molding and tall baseboards. The spacious living room features an oversized picture window drawing in the southern natural light, and a stunning decorative fireplace and mantel. An impressive separate dining room features extra-tall windows for great natural light, a bay window with window seat, and original molding. The updated kitchen with the perfect working chef's triangle includes newer stainless steel appliances, classic subway tile backsplash, a deep farmhouse sink, abundant cabinet space, and dramatic undermount lighting. There is also room for an eating area (or keep the gorgeous built-in china cabinet). Both bathrooms were recently rehabbed for a tasteful, timeless look; the sleek, bright primary bathroom features fantastic modern lighting, heated floors, jacuzzi tub, and built-in shelves/storage. The primary bedroom is bright with multiple exposures and has three closets (including a spacious walk-in closet), and the first floor bedroom/office was re-designed to include new, larger windows overlooking the garden and backyard, and heated floors installed at its entryway. Even after that torrential September rain, a dry basement with finished family room and bonus room, extra space for another bathroom or exercise room, and abundant storage. The large, south-facing private porch is the owners' favorite, but don't forget about the paver patio in back along with the nicely landscaped back yard with raised beds. Absolutely booming area with new construction up and down the block on this coveted one-way section of Berenice. While technically located in North Center, you are ideally situated right next to Lakeview, Lincoln Square, Wells Park, Hamlin Park, Roscoe Village and steps to grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops and pretty much anything you need. This home is a true pleasure to show.
