New Photos! Location, Location, Location! Welcome home to a beautifully maintained 3-story single-family residence nestled on the lush, tree-lined Whipple Street in the heart of Palmer Square - one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods. Proudly owned by just one owner, this lovingly cared-for home is a rare find. The main level greets you with a bright, open living and dining combo anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, a convenient half bath, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring a bar and casual eating area - perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite impresses with an abundance of closet space, a private balcony, dual sinks, and a separate bath and shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and the convenience of second-floor laundry - complete with a 3-year-old washer and dryer - round out this level. The fully finished basement extends your living space with an electric fireplace, a wired surround sound system, built-in speakers and TV, a wet bar with sink and mini fridge, a fourth bedroom, full bath, and ample storage - ideal for guests, gym, or multi-generational living. Major mechanicals have been thoughtfully updated, including a newer roof and a fully zoned HVAC system with dual heating and cooling units - giving you year-round comfort and efficiency on every level of the home. Step outside to your private deck, perfect for grilling and outdoor entertaining. The oversized 2-car garage features a flat roof with exciting potential for a rooftop deck, while a mature tree provides natural privacy from neighbors - all on a generous 25 x 125 lot. This home includes a magnificent Falcone Baby Grand Piano - an elegant centerpiece that sets the tone for this one-of-a-kind residence. While meticulously maintained by its one proud owner, this home presents a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to add their personal style - whether refinishing the hardwood floors to their taste or elevating the primary bath into a true spa retreat. Just a half block from Palmer Square Park, 3 blocks from The 606 Trail, and 5 blocks from the California Blue Line - with neighborhood restaurants and boutique shopping just a short stroll away.
