*** Highest and best due Monday 7/27 at 12pm. No escalation clauses please!*** Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Lakeview in the highly sought-after Hamilton School District, this recently gut-renovated single-family home (2020) offers thoughtfully designed living space seamlessly blending timeless charm with modern sophistication. A welcoming front porch opens to a sun-filled, open-concept living and dining area designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen serves as a refined focal point, featuring 42" shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, new designer brass hardware and lighting, and newer Samsung appliances. The main level hosts a serene primary suite retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and a beautifully finished ensuite bath with double vanity and jetted tub. Ideally situated just off the custom-organized mudroom, the suite overlooks a vast private backyard, adding to the tranquility. Original character shines throughout with restored stained glass from the 1880s, rich oak hardwood flooring, and a classic staircase that anchors the home's design. Upstairs, two expansive bedrooms with vaulted ceilings are complemented by a versatile bonus space, perfect for an office or kids' play space, and a full bath with double vanities. The finished lower level introduces a loft-inspired aesthetic with a spacious family room, a separated area perfect for a playroom or creating a 4th bedroom, a full bath, a generous laundry room, and an abundant amount of dedicated storage rooms and closets. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a covered front porch and a convenient 2-car garage. The expansive backyard custom paver patio is ideal for entertaining, and the grass yard is big enough to play bags or have a swing set guarded by a 6-foot privacy fence! Extensively updated in 2020 with new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, and mechanicals, this home delivers modern peace of mind while preserving its historic character. Walkability is A+, being just a half block from the Brown Line and Hamilton Elementary, and steps away from neighborhood favorites, including Whole Foods, Bitter Pops, Frasca Pizzeria & Wine Bar, and local toy and clothing boutiques. If you have been dreaming of a single-family home living on the northside that is at the intersection of neighborhood charm and city conveniences, this is the one!
