An extraordinary opportunity in Edgewater awaits: Expansive 5 bed, 3.1 bath historic home that's been lovingly updated and brought back to life by the current owners and includes a separate, stylish 1 bedroom apartment (currently used as an AirBnb). Welcome to a world of possibilities! Set on a double corner lot, this home is a crown jewel of the neighborhood. A sense of light & open space throughout, with tons of windows and gathering/entertaining spaces designed to help you create memories for years to come. Stepping into the main floor's formal entry foyer, from the charming covered front porch, you can immediately feel the history & charm, mixed with modern conveniences. The decorative fireplace, the stunning staircase that draws your eye to the original leaded glass window. A double-length parlor provides 2 living spaces: one a more formal space, and the other more casual, with wood-burning fireplace, anchored by the tall windows overlooking the parkway and trees. The dining room (with 3 original built-in hutches), connects to the updated kitchen, featuring a deep farm sink overlooking the outdoors, soapstone counter tops with island, transitional white cabinetry & stainless steel appliances. A side entry with organized mudroom helps you keep clutter clear and hidden, and leads you to your outdoor oasis (more on that later). The second floor was transformed to create a more desirable and functional layout: South-facing, king-sized primary suite...two additional bedrooms, full bath plus side-by-side laundry room with linen closet & a window that overlooks the garden. The recently completed attic loft is a recreation room dream, complete with dramatic vaulted ceilings covered by wainscoting and cool, modern light fixtures. Several built-in benches can double as reading nooks or beds - making for epic sleepovers. The finished basement offers two additional bedrooms, plus a bonus office, renovated full bath, and large family room with wet bar and wine fridge, built-in entertainment area, & a massive, organized pantry. The outdoor space is sublime and is designed for hours and hours of outdoor fun, with patio & hardscape by Red Stern. A large deck off the main floor steps down to the yard, which features a second patio with privacy wall. With so much space, the possibilities are endless: winter ice rink? pool? hot tub? outdoor kitchen? You've got the space for all of it! Quite possibly the most unique part of the house is the separate, fully renovated 1 bedroom apartment. With its own entry, the current owners have used this as an income producing short-term rental, earning $44-60k per year (per seller). Keep as an AirBnb...or use for long term guests, home office, au pair/nanny quarters....or whatever you can imagine. This space has a stylish modern kitchen, exposed brick, tons of light, modern bath and its own laundry. It's offered fully furnished and turnkey. Other Recent upgrades: electric, furnace, central air, water heater. Best of all is the location in one of Chicago's best neighborhoods. Convenient to Loyola and Northwestern Universities, this home is also 3 blocks to Red Line and 5 blocks to Downtown Buses and Lake Michigan.
