Meticulously maintained, gem in East-Pilsen. Previously constructed as a multi-unit property, now a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 4 level home with over 5,600 sf of livable interior space, complemented by 2 fenced yard areas, 3 XL balconies, an unfinished roof-deck, and skyline views - providing an abundance of space for activities and opportunities for further customization. Beginning at "old Chicago level", the entire home is above ground, with 7 total lower-level rooms: a living area currently used as a playroom, two bedrooms, one full bath, the first laundry area/mudroom, and 2 storage rooms. This was originally a first floor apartment and offers front and rear access, making it a great option for an in-law unit, au-pair's quarters or tenants. The expansive main living level offers a sophisticated urban oasis with Brazilian cherrywood floors sprawling throughout the formal living room, dining area, and beyond the chef's kitchen; boasting a tantalizing amount of space for entertaining. Also find a small library, 1 office, 1 full bathroom and a 2nd mudroom near the back entry, opening to the first of 3 deck areas. Follow the cherrywood stairs to level 2 and find the family room centered around a gas burning fireplace detailed with a vintage mantelpiece, and tons of natural sunlight. Level 2 also offers a wet bar, two similar-sized bedrooms, another laundry room, and a king-sized primary suite; complete with a full ensuite bath, walk-in-closet and access to large deck overlooking the fenced backyard area. The top floor offers the 3rd oversized balcony, views of Chicago's skyline, and is a great space for an artist's loft, workshop, or a future income-producing apartment. Permits and architectural plans are prepared for roof decking, or design the space as your own to enjoy fireworks and stargazing. With ever-growing demand for this neighborhood, DECONVERSION projects became a big trend recently squashed by new regulations, making it exponentially more difficult to acquire single family properties of this size in this area. 1-block from Thalia Hall and 18th Street restaurants, centrally positioned to Rush, the medical district, UIC, and just 15 minutes to Lurie Children's, Northwestern and University of Chicago.
