Located in the heart of Chicago's highly sought-after North Center neighborhood, 1848 West Berenice Avenue presents a rare and versatile opportunity for the discerning buyer, developer, or preservationist. This stately three-story residence sits on an expansive 44' x 125' footprint, totaling a remarkable 5,562 square foot lot-a significant rarity that dwarfs the standard Chicago parcel. Whether your vision involves a meticulous restoration of the existing home's vintage character or a ground-up development of a sprawling luxury estate, the sheer scale of this land provides a premier canvas in a high-appreciation corridor. The home's interior spans three levels of living space, offering the generous proportions and architectural potential often sought but seldom found in 60613. The deep lot size allows for substantial backyard entertaining space, a large garage, or a significant home extension while still maintaining a sense of openness and privacy. Positioned on a quiet, tree-lined street, the property is just steps away from the award-winning Hamilton Elementary School and the vibrant dining and shopping scenes of Lincoln Avenue and North Center Square. Commuters will appreciate the proximity to the Irving Park Brown Line and several major bus routes, ensuring an easy connection to the Loop. This property is being sold as-is, inviting you to bring your architect and contractor to capitalize on one of the most significant lot sizes available in the area. With its unbeatable location and massive footprint, this is a standout opportunity to create a landmark residence in one of Chicago's most beloved communities.
