Gorgeous updated Victorian single family home on an oversized 31 foot wide lot on a quiet residential street in beautiful Ravenswood. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 decks, and a grassy backyard as well as not one, but two family rooms, this home has ample space for all of the realities of Covid including working from home, e-learning, and exercising. The updated kitchen has custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with soft close drawers and cabinets, Viking Professional 5 series 30-inch wide range, and a Bosch dishwasher. This large kitchen has a pantry and oversized kitchen island with seating for 5 which opens up to the spacious family room with a gas burning fireplace. Off the family room is the first of two decks as well as a patio and grassy backyard. The deck features Ipe wood decking and Trex composite railing as well as a gas line grill hook-up. The deck steps down to a newer bluestone patio and grassy, beautifully landscaped backyard with flowers and custom planters. The dining room flows nicely into the living and family rooms and easily seats 8-10 with plenty of room for a large hutch or buffet. The cozy living room is anchored by another gas fireplace and looks out over the adorable new front porch onto a tree-lined one way street. Rounding out the first floor is a modern powder room, coat closet and even a nook which could be perfect for a piano as well as gorgeous wainscotting and hardwood floors throughout this level. Upstairs are three bedrooms including the primary bedroom with a tray ceiling which easily fits a king sized bed and has a stunning, spa-like ensuite bath with a freestanding tub, and dual walk-in closets. Off the primary bedroom is the 2nd deck, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine or a good book as you gaze out over your grassy backyard--a peaceful oasis in the city. Completing this level are two additional bedrooms, the 2nd full bathroom, a linen closet and hardwood floors throughout. The lower level finished basement has a spacious family/rec room, the 4th bedroom which is large enough to be both a bedroom and an office, and the 3rd full bathroom as well as a laundry room with newer side-by-side washer/dryer, a utility sink and additional storage space. Open, airy floor plan. Private alley with two-car detached garage with fantastic storage. Additional storage in the attic, accessed from the upper bedroom level of the house. Newer kitchen appliances. Dual zoned heating and cooling with newer furnaces and AC units. Amazing central location just one block from the new Metra stop or 8 blocks to the brown line at Damen. Walk to Marianos, the Lake, Montrose Beach, the shops and restaurants of Lincoln Square or Southport Corridor, Wrigley Field and more.
