Property Description
You'll fall in love with this beautiful, artistically inspired "Dwell" Style Home, with an amazing urban perennial and herb & tomato garden and secluded, newly designed backyard brick paver patio with outdoor lighting. A sanctuary in the city! The entire property is fully fenced in, on an extra-wide 30' x 97' lot, that's perfect for gardening, a hot tub, pets, kids to play, family BBQs, or a just place to relax after a long day. The 2.5 car garage also has a woodworking room! Located in the River's Edge section of East Pilsen. Inside there are artistic features throughout, including custom refinished, hand-carved inlaid hardwood floors, and original/refurbished lattice and glass pocket doors, custom lighting, even the heating vents are custom made and unlike anything you have seen on a Chicago home. Huge skylights, and the big bay windows in the light atrium, shower the kitchen and dining room with golden hour type sunlight all day long. Kitchen features breakfast bar, custom butcher block counter-tops, back-lit custom cabinetry, mosaic tile full back-splash. Remote controlled custom blinds, even in the high-top bay windows. Full size, side-by-side washer/dryer. Too many updates & upgrades to list them all here. The layout offers 2 "real" bedrooms, with a 3rd (pass through) home office/baby's room, all with cathedral ceilings (and extra storage up top!). Plenty of closets. Main level offers rehabbed powder room and is setup for easy expansion to add another full bath. Cool little office nook off of the living room. Location: from here you can walk to the new Jefferson Square grocery and take out shops, 312 Fish Market, Pilsen dining district, Chinatown, South Loop, Jewel, Whole Foods/ Icon Theaters, and all the Roosevelt Corridor has to offer. 2 Minutes to I90/94, I55, I290. South loop schools all close by, magnets, classical, private. This is an amazing property that offers the luxury and privacy of a single home, huge garage, and outdoor space on an extra-wide lot, for the price of a condo!!
