A fabulous blend of contemporary and vintage, this two-story brick house sits on an oversized lot, offering a generous front yard, wide side walkway, and a backyard for summer fun and patio entertaining. There's a two-car garage plus a third parking space. Inside, artisanal mosaic fireplaces, hardwood floors, original built in breakfronts, and beveled and stained-glass windows bring together contemporary styling and classic features to create a warm, welcoming fully-functional home. Friends and family can gather around entertainment island and dine in an open, eat-in kitchen designed for cooking and entertaining. The kitchen offers incredible storage and workspace with Subzero, Viking, Bosch and KitchenAid appliances. The dining room and living room are well-sized and proportioned for casual or formal occasions. A bedroom room, full bath and home office complete the first floor living space. Upstairs you will find two large bedrooms, both offering ensuite full bathrooms, wood-slat window treatments, walk-in closets and generous linen closets. In addition, there's a third bedroom and a second-home office that overlooks the backyard, privacy assured by an enormous blue spruce and blossoming apple tree. The finished basement can serve as a playroom and kids' party space, man-cave, home office, or a guest room. In addition, there is a half-bath, walk-in cedar closet, and separate large utility room with a work-bench, laundry sinks, table and machines, space for Costco excess and even an extra refrigerator with freezer! This gracious home is on a beautiful, tree-lined street, in a vibrant neighborhood with great shopping, services and restaurants, close to public transportation, and an easy walk to Wrigley Field, the Southport Corridor, and Chicago's lakefront.
