About This Home

Totally renovated, high-end home in Chicago's desirable Jefferson Park neighborhood offering modern updates, thoughtful design, and convenient access to everything the northwest side has to offer. This beautifully maintained home underwent a complete gut renovation approximately seven years ago and features updated electrical, mechanicals, insulation, windows, and finishes throughout. The flexible layout is ideal for today's lifestyle and especially well suited for working from home with Ethernet wiring throughout the house for reliable connectivity. The inviting living space includes an electric fireplace and flows seamlessly into comfortable living and entertaining areas. The updated kitchen is a cook's dream designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring quality finishes, excellent workspace, and a convenient breakfast bar for casual dining and gathering. The home features two fully renovated bathrooms with electric radiant heated floors for added comfort. Major infrastructure improvements include a 2021 tear-off roof with 30-year architectural shingles, insulated walls and attic for improved energy efficiency, updated windows (approximately seven years), all new electrical with 100-amp service, and copper plumbing throughout. Mechanical upgrades include a tankless water heater, HVAC system with annual maintenance plan, and a new sump pump installed in 2024. Smart home features include Nest thermostat, Ring security system, and electronic door locks, all included. Exterior masonry improvements include tuckpointing completed approximately seven years ago, and a new front flower bed retaining wall installed in 2025. Additional exterior features include a flood control system located in the front yard (not currently active), plus gas lines serving both the outdoor grill and a fire table (fire table negotiable). The detached garage is a car lover's dream and an exceptional additional entertainment space for year-round enjoyment, renovated approximately 2.5 years ago and featuring a gas heater, polypropylene flooring, an additional overhead door opening to the rear yard, and negotiable audio/media components. The home also includes a practical mudroom closet with additional audio/media components negotiable. Long-time owner of seven years reports no water issues and no insurance claims during ownership other than the roof replacement. Exceptionally low property taxes just over $5K annually add to the value. Located in the highly sought-after Jefferson Park community with convenient access to parks, restaurants, shopping, public transportation, the Metra and CTA, and major expressways, making commuting and daily living easy.
