Vintage rowhome in perfect Lincoln Square location featuring three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the upper level. Set back on quiet block of tree-lined Wilson Avenue (no bus traffic), this beautiful home welcomes you with tiers of professionally landscaped perennials, a quintessential Chicago front porch and gorgeous facade. Upon entry, you are greeted by a gracious foyer with 10-foot ceilings. The living room boasts a fireplace, oversized windows with transoms, hardwood flooring, and designer lighting, creating a comfortable yet elegant atmosphere. The separate dining room remains visually connected to the main living areas, same hardwood flooring and high ceilings. The main floor also includes a half bath and a well-appointed kitchen featuring double-height cabinetry for ample storage, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and pass-through windows opening to the spacious family room filled with natural light. The second floor benefits from abundant sunlight throughout, with the front bedroom featuring high ceilings, a bay window, hardwood floors, and a generous layout. The second bedroom is also well-proportioned with exceptional southern exposure. Nicely finished upstairs hall bath offers a tub, new vanity, mirror, and an east-facing window. But the primary suite is the show-stopper with two walls of windows, located in the back of the property, it offers serene space. Add to that an expansive closet and ensuite bathroom, what more could you ask for? Additional amenities include a full basement with a family or recreation room, laundry area, flexible space suitable for an office or exercise area, and a beautifully designed backyard with pavers, perennials, a deck, and a versatile carport that can serve as outdoor dining, crafting, or bike storage. This property combines thoughtful design with desirable neighborhood proximity. Local attractions include Sulzer Library, the Old Town School of Folk Music, numerous restaurants on Lincoln, the Brown Line, Welles Park, Lycee Francais, North Park Elementary, Mcpherson, Small Cheval, Lou Malnati's, and more.
