NO ESCALATION CLAUSES OR LOVE LETTERS.*** Tucked away on a quiet tree-lined street is this classic Chicago Greystone set on an exceptionally rare 40' x 150' lot. Renovated in 2018 and thoughtfully enhanced in 2022, the home blends turn-of-the-century character with modern comfort. Between the wide lot offering a generous setback from neighbors on both sides, and large windows in every room, the entire home is filled with an abundance of natural light, while hardwood floors and high ceilings add to the home's vibrance and charm. A professionally landscaped front yard leads into a gracious foyer and a flowing main level with a formal living room anchored by a gas fireplace, a gracious formal dining area, and a high-end kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances (Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator), quartz countertops, an island with bar seating, and a nook for an eat-in area. Beyond the kitchen is an oversized family room opening to a steel back deck overlooking perennial prairie gardens and raised vegetable beds. A powder room, built-in pantry storage, and full laundry room complete this level. Atop the sweeping staircase, the second floor offers four spacious bedrooms and three full baths. The sun-drenched south-facing primary suite features a gorgeous window bay, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, full height pull-out storage cabinet, and a walk-in shower. The three other bedrooms on this level enjoy abundant natural light, optimized storage, and hardwood floors, plus a second laundry hookup conveniently located in a hallway closet. The fully finished lower level was repurposed and remodeled in 2022, and is accessed via its own private entrance. This space functions as a flexible 2-bedroom, 1-bath suite with a private entrance, full kitchen, laundry, heated bathroom floors, and bright, comfortable living spaces-ideal for guests, multi-generational living, work-from-home/home business space, additional household support, or supplementary income. The staircase down to the basement from the main level has potential to be re-installed by the new owner--ask agent for details! With no alley behind the property, the backyard lives like a private urban sanctuary-an expansive, sunny retreat to host unforgettable evenings with family and friends. Own this home with peace of mind, knowing the current owners have poured over $450, 000 into enhancing the home's efficiency, longevity, and eco-friendliness--an Improvement List can be provided upon request! Andersonville was rated as "America's Coolest Neighborhood" in 2021 by TimeOut, and this block of Carmen encapsulates the best of Uptown/Andersonville living--small town charm with big city conveniences, and a lively block club (Winona Foster Carmen Winnemac, "WFCW"). Nestled between the Broadway and Clark Street corridors, this area offers effortless walkability and access to beloved grocery stores (Jewel-Osco and Marianos are closest), gyms, coffee shops, boutique galleries, dining, nightlife and entertainment. Just around the corner is Asia on Argyle (home to the summer Argyle Night Market and incredible Asian cuisine options), historic Green Mill Tavern Jazz Club, Aragon Ballroom, and the Riviera Theatre. Equidistant to the Argyle and Berwyn CTA Red Line Stations, as well as CTA buses on Broadway, Clark Street and Foster Avenue. For those who enjoy spending summers at Lake Michigan, Foster Beach, Saddle & Cycle Club, and the Lakefront Trail are just 5 blocks away!
