Description

A truly uniquely vintage property you will not find anywhere else in Lincoln Park. Located just blocks from the lake, down a quiet one way street, this historical 1891 limestone facade 3 flat is home to an enormous two bedroom, two bath home with two office spaces and a separate living room and family room on opposite sides of the home so you can spread out. - Rarely seen craftsmanship adorns this property with fine woodwork from a bygone era as evident in the two intricately carved fireplace mantels, two original hutches, tall carved baseboards and beautiful period tile fireplace surrounds. - Along with these well preserved finishes, this home was rehabbed to provide all the modern amenities with a floor plan redesigned for todays living. The huge open kitchen complete with floor to ceiling rich cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops opens to the diving room and family room which are adjacent to the east-facing screened-in outdoor space. This warm comfortable space is perfect for informal entertaining. Automated shades complete the scene. - For more formal entertaining, the living room is a step back in time with a hutch that graces one wall with its intricate styling and a decorative fireplace on another with dark burgundy tile. - On the opposite side of the home is a huge primary suite with tall windows facing the tree-lined street, a decorative fireplace and a large custom designed walk-in-closet. Close off this space from the rest of the home with the original grand pocket doors.

This impressively large space can easily hold a king-size bed with enough space for oversized furniture. Set up a chaise in the bay window, draw the automatic shades and just relax. - The oversized primary bathroom was just rehabbed and reimagined last year with fine tile work and a huge walk-in shower with a handheld shower and a bench. Furniture quality cabinetry, Kohler fixtures and auto-defogging mirrors complete the oasis. - Down the hall across from the refreshed second bath is the second bedroom large enough for a queen bed and has its own walk-in-closet. - There are two additional office spaces off of the primary bedroom that will provide the peace and quiet needed to work from home. (One is currently used as a dressing room.) Finally, there is a LG front-loading stackable washer/dryer for your convenience, plus a large storage room in the basement. - The hardwood floors throughout were refinished in 2022. The HVAC was replaced in 2018 for years of worry-free use. The building too is in excellent shape with a new tear-off roof this year and was tucks-pointed in 2018. - Walk outside your front door and East Lincoln Park awaits. Close to the park, zoo, transportation and all of the shopping and restaurants along Clark. If youd rather drive, there is an assigned spot out back for your car included in the price. Come take a look. Its something that you will remember.
