Property Description
Handsome 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom West Ridge home on an extra wide corner lot! The main level is rich with vintage character featuring a spacious living room with elegant moldings, a gas ventless fireplace flanked by built-in niches, and recessed lighting. The formal dining room easily accommodates a large table, buffet, and china cabinet. The charming eat-in kitchen offers vintage Geneva metal cabinetry, a pantry closet, an original butler's pantry, and new LV flooring. A bright sunroom with an original multicolored tile floor sits just off the kitchen. The main level has three bedrooms, including an ensuite, and both main level baths have lovingly preserved original wall and floor tile. The thoughtfully rehabbed second level features two ensuite bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a sitting area, an expansive organized walk-in closet, a beverage cooler, and a spacious bathroom with a large shower, linen closet, and double sink vanity. The second ensuite bedroom includes a double closet and a beautifully finished bath with a linen closet. Both upstairs bedrooms enjoy soaring 8'8" ceilings with recessed lighting. The home offers a hybrid HVAC system: a new (2025) furnace and air conditioning compressor serving the first and second floors are complemented by a newer boiler radiator system for the main level and basement. Additional highlights include a Jerusalem stone entry floor, refinished hardwood throughout the main level, newer windows, a floor-mounted safe, a basement sauna with shower, a slate roof system, a brick two-car garage, and a brick paver patio with seat-height planters. The entire home has been rewired, all plumbing upgraded to copper, the parapet wall was rebuilt with new flashing and weeps, and the building was tuckpointed three years ago. The expansive 2,000+ sq ft basement offers exceptional space for a workshop, recreation room, and abundant storage. Located close to shopping, dining, public transportation, the Chicago Public Library, Warren Park, Indian Boundary Park and the Robert A Black Golf Course.
