About This Home

** H&B on Oct 20, 5 pm. ** ReceivedStunning, lovingly-restored, immaculately maintained, move-in ready, 3-bed, 1.5-bath Logan Square/Avondale home beckons! From the inviting, spacious front porch, enter into a roomy foyer and appreciate the home's soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and tall, bright windows. Through a set of original French doors, gather with loved ones for game night or cozy up for a relaxing evening in the generous living room with custom-built-in bookshelves. Easily host your largest holiday gatherings in the adjoining large dining room that opens to the custom chef's kitchen! The dining room boasts a surprise: a convenient, built-in, drop-down desk with a monitor arm, making this space flexible and functional for work or study from home scenarios during the day! The custom-designed and built adjoining kitchen was completely redone in '15 and boasts sleek, modern, glossy gray cabinetry; open storage for an airy, connected feel; miles of butcher block countertops; numerous soft-close drawers; all stainless, high-end appliances; dimmable LED lighting for countertops, 3 stage under-counter water filter, a vast, deep, extra-tall pantry cabinet to hide away clutter and more. A set of French doors leads to an incredible sunroom designed for entertaining, featuring a projection screen and a party door to the back deck. A thoughtful first-floor half bath rounds out this level and makes for easy living and entertaining. When you're ready to retire, head up the brand-new refinished stairway to find three generous bedrooms (two of which can easily accommodate king-sized beds!), all featuring surprisingly huge closets, and bright, tall windows that flood these bedrooms with light. Completing this top level is the stylish full bath (gut-remodeled in '15) that boasts a large shower with a Grohe rainshower and handset fixture, Ann Sacks tile, tootsie-warming heated floors, and a large window and skylight, all complemented by quality fixtures. For even more space, head down to the high and dry lower level, which is bright and clean with drain tile and a sump pump ('24). It houses laundry and a workbench for any home improvement projects and boasts loads of space for storage or even additional future living! Al fresco, this home continues to be a delight! Enjoy book clubs or beer tastings on the architectural back deck ('15) or open front porch overlooking the award-winning, low-maintenance native Prairie gardens in the front and rear of the home, or growing your own veggies and herbs in the raised garden beds. And, if you need even more gardening space, the 1st floor flat roof is soil-rated for additional growing space! And the 2-car garage makes winter car-window scraping a thing of the past and is already set up for EV charging! This home has been lovingly restored and has thoughtful designs throughout - solar panels; Schoolhouse Electric (vintage look) light fixtures throughout; vintage brass doorknobs (1880s original); power outlet in vanity drawers in bath; 8 rain barrels beneath back porch, connected to downspouts + motorized water pump; Smart front porch and garage lights and more! Lots of updates in this labor of love - drain tile and sump pump - '24; new siding - '23/'13; microwave - '23; all other stainless appliances - '15; solar panel - '23; roof (50 yr shingles on house and garage) - '22; front porch support beams/framing/stairs fully rebulit - '22; dryer - '16; washer - '15; A/C - '15; kitchen - '15; first floor hardwood - '15; gut bath remodels - '15; all internal plumbing redone - '15 onwards; back deck - '15; insulated sidewalls - '13; upgraded Electric service line + 200 Amp Panel - '11; tankless H2O heater - '21; high efficiency furnace - '11; R60 rated insulation in attic - '08; all 22 new windows - '08; and more. All this on a charming, leafy block in a fantastic location - minutes from Logan Square, shopping, grocery, restaurants, commuting and more. This is the one you've been waiting for!
