Description
A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored 4-bedroom, 3-bath Arts & Crafts home on one of Rogers Park's most desirable streets, where timeless character meets modern comfort. Completely rebuilt to the studs in 2017, this exceptional residence preserves its original warmth and craftsmanship while offering the peace of mind of a comprehensive renovation. An inviting front porch, lush landscaping, and a picturesque setting overlooking a neighborhood park create exceptional curb appeal. The beautifully maintained yard features mature trees, a raised vegetable garden, and a playset, offering a private outdoor retreat. Inside, rich hardwood floors, custom millwork, and original architectural details blend seamlessly with today's modern finishes. The chef's kitchen is appointed with quartz countertops and timeless cabinets. At the heart of the home is a Lennox Montecito EPA-certified high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace, beautifully framed by a restored historic tile surround and custom woodwork that honors the home's Arts & Crafts heritage. Major updates include Pella windows throughout, closed-cell spray foam insulation, central air conditioning with a humidifier and air cleaner, a new high-efficiency boiler (2025), tankless water heater, heated floors in the primary bathroom, custom Elfa closet systems, and an oversized 2.5-car garage with exceptional storage. Ideally located just a five-minute walk to the Metra, this home also offers easy access to the CTA, Lake Michigan, grocery stores, restaurants, and neighborhood coffee shops. A truly special home where historic character and modern living come together beautifully.
