2312 W Charleston Street Chicago IL 60647 MLS #MRD12644292

Tucked onto one of Bucktown’s prettiest tree-lined streets, 2312 W Charleston is a rare find: a true single-family home in a neighborhood where most properties started life – and stayed – as two- and three-flats. In 2018, the sellers took this classic Bucktown multi-unit on a wide 27.22 lot down to the studs and reimagined it as a thoughtfully designed single-family residence, blending the character of the original structure with the layout, scale, and finishes today’s buyers expect. Six bedrooms and four and a half baths across four beautifully finished levels offer the kind of space and flexibility that’s nearly impossible to find in the neighborhood. Hardwood floors run throughout, lending warmth and continuity from the main entry all the way up. The main level is anchored by a chef’s kitchen with a 14-foot island – the kind of gathering space that anchors every dinner party, every Sunday morning, every holiday. Open sight lines flow into the dining and living areas, making the first floor as functional for everyday life as it is for entertaining at scale. Upstairs, the second floor is home to three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a private balcony – your own quiet perch above the treetops with morning coffee in hand. The primary bath is a true retreat, featuring double sinks, a deep soaking tub, and an oversized shower. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms plus a bonus family room, ideal as a kids’ retreat, media lounge, home office, or guest suite. The fully finished lower level features a sixth bedroom, a wet bar, a generous family room, and radiant heated floors throughout. Outside, the sellers rebuilt the brick two-car garage and topped it with a rooftop deck – extending the home’s outdoor footprint and giving you a private space to entertain, grill, or unwind under the city sky. This Pulaski School District home is a two-block walk to Holstein Park (2200 N Oakley), home to the historic 1912 field house, swimming pool, ball fields, and the beloved Bucktown Art Fest each summer. Just across the way, Senior Citizens Memorial Park offers shady green space for picnics, and Ehrler Park rounds out the trio of neighborhood parks within easy strolling distance. The 606/Bloomingdale Trail is just a few blocks south for runners, cyclists, and dog walkers. Walk to Damen Avenue and you’re in the middle of Bucktown’s best: Le Bouchon, Coast Sushi, Cafe Robey, Big Star, Small Cheval, Goddess and the Baker, and the boutiques and coffee shops that make this stretch one of the most walkable in the city. The Damen Blue Line is a short walk for a quick ride downtown, and the Kennedy Expressway is minutes away.
