Description

Stunning 2018 gut rehab located minutes from downtown Chicago, this 4 bed, 4 bath home is move-in ready. Hardwood floors on the generous open-concept main floor run from the welcoming front room to the designer kitchen and into the first floor bedroom. Entertain at the island in the designer kitchen or open the back door for dinner on the screened in porch or in the extra wide yard complete with privacy fence. On the top floor you'll find two bedrooms, a full bath, a laundry room and an extra closet even before you enter the massive master bedroom complete with en-suite bath and walk-in closet. The open, finished basement has another full bath, beautiful tile, and plenty of room to work out, entertain, and store anything you'd like, from extra clothes to your favorite wines. On the roof, (new in 2018!) a fully owned solar array from 2019 produces almost $1,000 of free electricity a year. Other recent additions include a tankless water heater, back flow prevention system, blown in whole house insulation and edible landscaping with more than twenty fruit trees and bushes on site. Even the two car garage has been updated with open storage, cabinets and a sealed floor. Three more private parking spots are in the alley, though one is currently filled by a highly productive garden bed. This home sits within a short walk to the blue line, Roos Loop Park District facilities (tennis courts, soccer field, indoor / outdoor gyms, trails), and all of the shopping and dining options on Madison. Don't miss it!
