Property Description
Step into history in Uptown/Sheridan Park's storied Dover Street Landmark District. Commissioned by A. G. Synnberg and built by Russell Powell in 1898, this original Queen Anne wood-frame residence sits on an extraordinary 50x195 lot-offering space, privacy and tranquility rarely found in the city. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with preserved architectural details, from the dramatic front staircase and pocket doors to intricate mouldings and original stained-glass windows. The gracious main level features an inviting foyer, formal living and dining rooms, and kitchen outfitted with premium JennAir appliances-including panel-front refrigerator and dishwasher-plus a Viking built-in oven, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry. French doors off the dining room open to a large deck overlooking the professionally landscaped backyard, where multiple entertaining areas-deck, patio, and gardens-create a private oasis. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two updated baths. The serene primary suite features a walk-in closet and an en suite bath complete with dual vanities, walk-in shower, and lots of cabinetry and storage space. The finished attic offers flexible space for a bedroom, studio, office, or playroom. The fully finished basement is the perfect place to entertain or hang out, which includes a rec room with adjacent bar area, bedroom with egress windows, full bath, laundry room, wine cellar, and additional storage. Mechanical updates include Carrier HVAC and roof (2021) and Renewal by Andersen basement windows (approx. 2020). A detached two-car garage and three additional parking pads (with rental potential) complete this remarkable property. Everything Uptown has to offer is right outside the door. The location cannot be beat. Walking distance to some of the best music and entertainment like the Aragon Ballroom, Riviera Theatre, and the famed Green Mill Tavern for jazz enthusiasts. Excellent dining options along Broadway, Clark and Wilson Street corridors, and everything Andersonville has to offer just around the corner. The lakefront and Lake Shore Drive are less than a 5 minute drive away. Public transit is a breeze here with many bus options on Clark, Lawrence, and Broadway, or take the CTA Red Line at the newly renovated Lawrence Avenue station. Mariano's grocery store is a few blocks away, across from the Lawrence Avenue Metra Station, which is a quick ride downtown!
