An incredible find in Lakeview on a 35' wide lot! This expansive property is a converted 3 flat to single family home with an extra wide lot and undeniable character in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods. Enter to an impressively spacious living room with original oak and maple hardwood floors throughout. The dining room follows, featuring a well-appointed wood burning fireplace connecting the living and dining rooms. The dining room features an atrium with absolutely soaring ceilings and a skylight with loads of natural light! Continuing the first level is the kitchen, equipped with a double oven, granite countertops, and an eat-in kitchen/seating area that leads to a large deck (one of three!) and incredible outdoor space with a yard. Outdoor space equipped with gated parking for 5 cars! An original wood staircase leads to the second level, hosting a den and three bedrooms including the primary bedroom with a newly renovated ensuite bathroom. A spacious and open top level features a living space, office and fourth bedroom. Interior access to roof and potential for a rooftop deck as well! Truly nothing like this one-of-a-kind home!
