Nestled on an exceptionally rare 26×141 oversized corner lot in Old Town, this all-brick single-family home stands out with its abundant natural light, high-end updates, and lush, private backyard oasis. Located on a quiet one way treelined street within the sought-after Lincoln Park High School district, this sun-drenched residence benefits from north, south, and west exposures, casting incredible light across every level. From the moment you enter, soaring 9’10” ceilings and a flexible open-concept layout create a bright, inviting atmosphere. The spacious living area features a custom limestone hearth and direct-vent gas fireplace, blending warmth with sophistication. The renovated chef’s kitchen is as functional as it is stylish, with soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, pull-out shelving, and top-tier appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Bosch double oven, and a Viking 6-burner cooktop with griddle, it is perfect for culinary enthusiasts. French doors open from the spacious family room encased in custom shelving, to a private rear deck that flows seamlessly into an extraordinary backyard retreat. Professionally landscaped with perennial gardens, a majestic Spruce tree, and paver bricks, the outdoor space is as unique as the home itself. A gated drive leads to your 2-car garage, offering both privacy and convenience. Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite impresses with soaring ceilings over 11 feet, custom closets, and a fully renovated spa-like bath featuring Grohe fixtures, Robern cabinets with built-in outlets, quartz counters, a Kohler soaking tub, and heated floors for ultimate comfort. Two additional bedrooms share another updated full bath. The lower level offers even more flexibility with a large rec room, newer carpeting, a fourth bedroom or home office, and a renovated third full bath with heated floors. Additional upgrades include Energy Star HVAC (2017), brand new windows in most rooms (2017), custom lighting throughout the main level and primary suite, and newly installed cedar fencing for enhanced curb appeal and privacy. The home is part of a professionally managed fee simple HOA ($475/quarterly) which includes snow removal, landscape care, private waste collection, and alley maintenance. All of this just moments from the best of Old Town, Lincoln Park, and easy access to shopping, dining, and public transportation. A truly one-of-a-kind opportunity on a quiet residential block, offering the space, light, and style you’ve been waiting for.
