Step into a piece of Chicago history with this meticulously updated residence, circa 1910. Originally built by a discerning homeowner who chose the beloved bungalow style for this expansive, extra-wide lot, the sensitive updates seamlessly blend historic charm with modern luxury. As documented in the Chicago Historic Resources Survey of 1983, this significant structure stands as a testament to the grand scale and versatility of the bungalow era. Its rustic design, reminiscent of a country home with its large brick exterior echoing fieldstone, transports you to a time when Rogers Park offered a suburban retreat amidst the bustling city. The home's generous lot size is a standout feature, providing an unusually expansive front yard that sets the property apart. This generous setback from the street creates a sense of privacy and grandeur, and offers a welcoming approach to the home. Similarly, the oversized rear yard offers a rare urban oasis, providing ample space for outdoor activities, gardening, and entertaining. A welcoming feature of this home is the expansive front porch, subtly screened by a mature Japanese Maple and perfect for entertaining guests or simply relaxing on a sunny spring afternoon. This generous outdoor space invites you to enjoy the neighborhood's charm and create lasting memories, all while overlooking the substantial front yard. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined while preserving its original character. The expansive main level boasts a new, open kitchen featuring custom white cabinetry with elegant walnut detailing, perfect for culinary enthusiasts and entertaining. Hardwood floors flow throughout, leading to a spacious living room centered by a wood-burning fireplace, a nod to its historic roots. Original details, including beautifully preserved wood windows, doors, staircase, trim, and moldings, add to the home's unique appeal. The main level also features two generously sized Jack and Jill bedrooms and a tastefully appointed full bath, offering comfortable living spaces. The contemporary kitchen overlooks the oversized rear yard, complete with a covered patio and garage, ideal for outdoor gatherings and relaxation. Ascend the original hardwood terraced staircase to find three spacious bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a perfected layout. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a modern freestanding tub, dual vanities, gorgeous tile work, and a glass-walled tiled shower. A conveniently located laundry area and ample closet space enhance the suite's functionality. A large family bath on the second floor with dual vanities, a separate tub, and shower caters to family and guests alike. The extra-deep, finished basement provides even more living space, featuring a massive family room, a fourth full bathroom, an office, and a workshop, along with a walkout to the rear yard, offering endless possibilities for recreation and storage. Modern comforts and efficiency are paramount. The home boasts updated mechanical systems, including a zoned high-efficiency HVAC system, ensuring year-round comfort and energy efficiency. More than just a home; it's a piece of Chicago's architectural legacy, thoughtfully updated for modern living. Don't miss the opportunity to own this exceptional property.
