Property Description
Family moments are best spent at HOME and I'm here to tell you that this is the HOME of your dreams. This expansive residence sits in an oversized lot (32X150) and offers eight generously sized bedrooms (5 above grade and 3 in basement) plus a loft currently serving as an office, and a TV Room/Den along with 4.5 impeccably updated bathrooms (one of them in the basement). The main level flows with effortless elegance, from the formal living and dining areas to the elegant kitchen to the cozy corners made for quiet conversation or lively entertaining outdoors. This storybook Colonial gem's exquisite renovation is a great marriage between timeless architecture and modern comfort. Anchored by a grand spiral staircase worthy of Architectural Digest. Filled with light, grace, and purpose, this home is a stunning tribute to design evolution-a thoughtful preservation of its original intent, now elevated for contemporary living. On the second level, the sprawling master suite complete with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath, features a soaking tub and separate glass-enclosed shower. But what sets this home apart is the in-law suite in the lower level-a fully equipped secondary residence with a full kitchen, three oversized bedrooms, a full bath, and its own private entrance. Whether you're welcoming extended family, housing guests, or exploring rental income, this space offers remarkable flexibility and comfort. It's fascinating how a home can evolve-how each owner leaves a mark. Here, however, the essence has been lovingly preserved, enhanced only to suit the rhythm of today's lifestyle. Moments matter. Family matters. And this is the kind of home that holds them all beautifully. Come see why this hidden Colonial gem isn't just a house-it's the one you've been waiting for.

Explore Washington Park
For now Chicago's Washington Park neighborhood may be a predominantly residential south side community with a sprawling public park and rich culture of African-American heritage, however, as the potential site of the Olympic Stadium for the 2016 Summer Games, this modest neighborhood could really make its mark in the near future. Remnants of the last century's architectural movement are found throughout the area, with a wave of new designs and gut rehabs dusting the streets as well. As Olympic talk heightens, developers and city officials are anticipating the impact such a huge event would have on Washington Park. Temporary athlete lodgings and the massive 80,000-seat arena would only be around for a short period, but the hope is that a surge of new businesses would ride in on the coattails of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bolster the Washington Park neighborhood for decades to come. The current commercial base is slight, with a few soul food mainstays and Chinese takeout, but the annual cultural festivals and fun Park District programs keep things on the up as Washington Park awaits an impending transformation of Olympic proportions.
