Set on an oversized lot in the highly sought-after Old Irving Park neighborhood, this meticulously maintained historic home offers the ideal blend of vintage character and modern convenience. Owned by the same family for over twenty-five years, this property has been thoughtfully updated throughout with both comfort and entertaining in mind. A welcoming front yard and covered porch with custom seating leads into a warm and inviting main level. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly together and feature beautifully preserved built-ins, rich moldings, and a custom stain glass window. The chef-designed kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional, featuring a custom bar area, prep sink, built-in workstation and a stunning bay window that fills the space with natural light. Directly off the kitchen, a newly constructed Trex deck overlooks a truly exceptional backyard retreat. Professionally designed perennial gardens, raised vegetable and herb beds, custom hardscaping, a pergola with dining area, a handcrafted arbor, and a newly added shed create a functional and serene outdoor space. The upper level includes three generously sized bedrooms, including an updated primary suite with a full bath, walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. The third bedroom has been thoughtfully divided to create an office-ideal for working from home-or could easily serve as a nursery. A finished attic offers abundant additional storage. The fully finished lower level includes a half bath, a spacious laundry room, a walk-in pantry, additional walk-in closet and a flexible fourth bedroom/office/craft room. Centrally located, this home is steps away from restaurants, Smoque BBQ, breweries, Starbucks, Six Corners shopping, and multiple transportation options-including the Blue Line (only 6 stops to Ohare with travel time of 20 minutes), 2 metra stops (1 stop away from Ogilvie and 2 stops away from Union Station) and convenient highway access. This is a rare opportunity in one of Chicago's most charming well-connected neighborhoods.
