Prepared to be enchanted by 4553 N. Wolcott, a significant and handsome Chicago property situated on a 50x152 lot in idyllic Ravenswood. The home and coach house were built in 1891 and impeccably restored between 2010-2016. Plumbing, electrical, roof, siding and mechanicals were completely updated, and the gorgeous hard wood floors, staircase, fireplace tile, trim and moldings kept in tact or sourced. After walking through the gate and lush landscaping, you will immediately feel transported to an urban oasis. A vintage wood door and custom stained glass greet you as you step into a piece of Chicago history. Once home to the Robert F. Clark Dairy Depot, the home now boasts 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a laundry room on the second floor, a powder room, renovated kitchen, and double parlor on the first. The basement is finished with cozy carpeting and includes a fourth spacious bedroom, full bathroom, and additional washer-dryer. The attic was fully finished as well, providing a fun flexible living space and full bathroom. Dual zoned HVAC ensures all levels are comfortable no matter the season. The kitchen was remodeled by HGTV's "Kitchen Crashers" and is appointed with a large island, stylish Fisher & Paykel range, a warming oven and charming butler's pantry. Off the kitchen, two doors lead to a wrap around back deck, and then to the one-of-a-kind coach house. Lofted, impossibly chic, and ultra cool, the coach house has its own mechanicals, kitchenette, and full bathroom. Bathed in natural light and completely private, the possibilities for this magnificent space are endless. A two car garage topped with a built out roof deck, and full side lot with gorgeous landscaping and a playhouse complete the dreamy picture. For the buyer who appreciates and wants to be a steward of Chicago history, this well loved house will provide beautiful memories and nostalgic moments. Zoned B3-2
