Welcome to 1808, where vintage Chicago architecture meets a high-end, modern renovation. Originally a brick two-flat, this corner home was converted into a spacious single-family residence, offering the perfect blend of charm, function, and style. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac, this 4-bedroom, 3.1-bathroom home is full of light and thoughtful design across three expansive levels. A marble-tiled foyer flows into a bright main level featuring hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings, and an exposed brick accent wall. The sunroom off the living room is a perfect spot for morning coffee. The open-concept kitchen is an entertainer’s dream, complete with high-end Dacor appliances including a double oven and gas cooktop, sleek white cabinetry, a large island, walk-in pantry, and dedicated mudroom. Whether you’re hosting a formal dinner or chatting with friends at the island, the home is designed for effortless living. Step outside onto a large deck – your go-to spot for grilling or soaking in golden hour vibes. Upstairs, the primary suite consists of a spacious bedroom, private sitting room or home office, large walk-in closet, and a balcony for a peaceful escape. The en suite bathroom features a double vanity and a walk-in rain shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient laundry room round out the upper level. The finished lower level extends the living space, featuring a large family room with a gas fireplace, a wet bar, and an wall of built-in cabinetry for books or games. There’s also a fourth bedroom, currently used as a home gym, another full bathroom, and ample storage. Outside, in addition to the decks, there is a fenced-in yard with raised garden beds and a 2-car garage. The home has two HVAC systems, a tankless water heater, built-in speakers, and noise-dampening windows on the east side. Located just minutes from Metra, CTA Brown and Red Line stations, and surrounded by top-rated schools, city parks, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of Andersonville and Lincoln Square, this home offers tranquility without sacrificing walkability or convenience.
