Property Description
Absolutely stunning West Lakeview single family home in the sought after Hamlin Park area on a picturesque tree lined street. No detail was spared in this tastefully decorated and re-imagined home with amazing indoor & outdoor living beginning with the charming front porch ideal for morning coffee or hanging with neighbors. The sun-filled main level features an inviting foyer alongside the formal living and dining areas perfect for special occasions featuring great ceiling height throughout and a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter. The completely overhauled kitchen and family room area was rehabbed in 2023 and features an all new kitchen with custom cabinetry, soapstone and marble countertops, an extra large island with seating for five, a dedicated pantry space and a designer appliance package with La Cornue range, Sub-Zero fridge and Miele dishwasher. The massive family room and secondary dining area easily accommodates a sizable table as well as a large couch/sectional area centered around a sleek fireplace with white marble and timeless custom built-ins on either side. Finishing off the main level is an updated powder room and additional built-ins for coats/shoes giving you a mudroom feel. The thoughtfully designed second level has generous sized 2nd and 3rd bedrooms, a well appointed kids bathroom completely renovated in 2021, and a private laundry room rehabbed by California Closets complete with utility sink and cabinet storage. The deluxe primary suite has vaulted ceilings with skylights, a massive custom closet and a pristine spa-like marble bathroom with heated floors, soaking tub, steam shower, private water closet and a classic double-bowl vanity all completed in 2021. The lower level has an expansive family room with fantastic ceiling height highlighted by a large custom entertainment area with built-in cabinets/shelving and a gas fireplace as well as a full wet bar with wine fridge. The spacious 4th bedroom has a stylish built-in office setup with an attached Murphy bed that sits adjacent to the pristine fourth bathroom making for an ideal guest room setup. Other additions in the basement include two more storage closets, supplemental heating for the lower level, a whole home water filtration system and a tankless water heater. Completing this exquisitely appointed home is an outdoor lover's dream with one deck immediately off the rear of the home ideal for grilling and al fresco dining in addition to a fully built-out garage roof deck with an extensive pergola setup, attached heat lamps, outdoor TV setup and custom planters. All the decking in the front and rear of the home was upgraded to composite decking. A truly wonderful turn-key home in impeccable condition that is perfectly situated steps away from popular Hamlin Park with free access to the large field, outdoor pool, tennis courts, brand new dog park and large fieldhouse. Leave your car in the garage and walk to all things Roscoe Village, Whole Foods, Southport Corridor, Bitter Pops, Frasca and the Paulina Brown Line stop! For a comprehensive list of the extensive work performed by the sellers including new Hardie Board siding on the entire home, new windows, new doors and a new slate roof on the front of the home please see the attached materials.
