Finally, after 25 years with its original owners, numerous upgrades and renovations, this North Center/Lincoln Square Gem is on the market! Lovingly maintained with meticulous TLC, this beautiful, 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, single family home sits on a one way, quiet, tree-lined street just steps from the Riverbank Neighbors Park walking path, Horner and Wells parks, and within the coveted Waters Elementary School District.

The formal living room, punctuated by one of three wood burning/gas fireplaces in the home, and surrounded by windows featuring beautiful Carolina Shutters, leads to the formal dining room defined by beautiful inlaid hardwood floor detail, perfect for dinner parties. A large pantry and tastefully decorated powder room comes next, before you enter the heart and soul of the home: a stunning, completely renovated chef's kitchen, designed by acclaimed designer, Rebekah Zaveloff's "Kitchen Lab". A gorgeous Calcutta Marble island, large enough for five to gather comfortably, is surrounded by quartzite countertops, inset European cabinetry, undermount lighting, Sub Zero Fridge, four burner Wolf stove with double griddle, Bosch dishwasher and microwave drawer, and a striking stainless steel hood.
