Charming and Versatile Home in the Heart of Andersonville nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offers exceptional space and versatility for modern living. The main level boasts an inviting layout ideal for entertaining, featuring a sunlit living room with a cozy fireplace, a formal dining area, and a bright, open-concept kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, a spacious island, a generous eating area, and abundant storage including a custom pantry. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath on this level provide flexible options for guests, home office, or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite includes a luxurious en suite bath, dual walk-in closets, and direct access to a private balcony. A second, oversized bedroom also offers a dual walk-in closet, and the spacious loft area provides the perfect spot for a home office, den, or an easy conversion into a third upstairs bedroom.

Outdoor living is a highlight here, with multiple spaces to enjoy-from the appealing front porch over looking the beautifully landscaped garden and balcony off of the primary suite plus newly added rooftop retreat. Recent updates include two new HVAC systems, a new water heater, a brand-new rooftop deck and balcony, remodeled/updated bathrooms and professional painting just completed. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout, and all closets are professionally organized to maximize storage. Ideally located within walking distance to top restaurants, boutique shopping, and the new Metra station, this exceptional home blends comfort, convenience, and style in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods.
