Beautiful turreted Queen Anne on an incredible double lot (50' x 150') in Ravenswood provides not only wonderful character, but unbelievable amount of room as well. The welcoming front porch with Victorian details opens to a very wide living room spanning the entire width of the home. A large formal dining room allows for formal entertaining, while the updated kitchen provides generous amounts of cabinet and countertop workspace, along with granite breakfast bar and stainless-steel appliances. A large back family room is the ideal tv space, while including a fireplace and so many windows. A powder room is also on this main level. On the second floor, there are 5(!) large bedrooms all on the same level, along with a full bathroom. An additional sunroom/office is tandem off one of the back bedrooms for the perfect work-from-home area. The third floor includes 2 huge additional bedrooms (one with the turret area) and another full bathroom. One or both of the bedrooms up here would also make an ideal playroom for kids or crafting area. The unfinished basement offers front storage rooms, a laundry room, a middle area that could easily be another family room, a workspace area and an additional full bathroom. Off the kitchen area, a mud room opens out to a back deck overlooking the oversized yard and two separate 2-car garages (for a total of 4 garage spaces). This yard space is an oasis in the city and allows for unlimited landscaping or a lush lawn. An additional side yard offers even more lawn area, providing additional distance between the neighboring home which allows for so much more natural sunlight in every room of this house. There is so much character in this home, from the front porch to hardwood floors and crown moldings, to stunning old doorknob plates on the front door. With 7 bedrooms all upstairs, it provides room for family, guests, and home offices without any compromises. No question, this is a special place. And being within 5 blocks to the Montrose Brown Line El (and Margie's Ice Cream, not to mention the other restaurants), and walking distance to Andersonville, the Gardner School and the French School of Chicago, it is also perfectly situated in such a desirable area.
