You have to check out this chic artist-renovated workers cottage in Bucktown located on a quiet side street right at the top of the Damen Avenue retail corridor and all its great boutique shops and award-winning restaurants. With a brilliant use of artful design throughout, this home has cleverly placed windows and skylights that maximize the light/bright atmosphere. Walking through the arches from the foyer to the main living area, the long living/dining/family room can be adapted to your every decorating whim. Passing the 2nd bedroom with en-suite full-bathroom, you walk back into the bright separate kitchen featuring a giant quartz-topped island with seating, stainless steel appliances, subway tile back splash, built-ins with window-seat, and white cabinets. Keep going through the breezeway with laundry to the attached 2-car garage with Chargepoint electric car charger. Upstairs there's a bedroom in front followed by a primary suite with a brand-new en-suite bathroom with double vanities, free-standing tub, separate multi-spray shower and heated floors. Toward the rear of the second level is a music room + office, which could be adapted into a 3rd bedroom upstairs, then stepping out to the new garage roof deck with firepit and pergola. Downstairs there's a 4th bedroom facing the fun fully-enclosed front patio, followed by a giant family room with stage and an additional half-bath. Exceptional storage throughout with built-ins and organized closets tucked-in everywhere. Available for purchase vacant or fully-furnished.
