Property Description
Expertly renovated by a professional builder, this Auburn Gresham residence offers the perfect blend of craftsmanship, efficiency, and timeless design. Located just one block from Foster Park and the Foster Park Community Center, the home is ideally situated near green space, recreational amenities, and neighborhood conveniences. This property has undergone a full, city-inspected renovation, ensuring peace of mind for the next homeowner. The attic has been upgraded with R49 cellulose insulation to maximize energy efficiency and reduce utility costs. All plumbing has been replaced, including the main drain, which is now overhead, eliminating the risk of sewer backup. A cleanout cap located in the front lawn allows for easy exterior access should future drain cleaning be needed. The electrical system is entirely new, and includes a secondary ground rod for added safety. Updates to the HVAC system ensure long term comfort, while every aspect of the interior finish was carefully supervised and executed with precision. Solid oak and porcelain travertine flooring span the main and second levels, with a striking metallic epoxy floor in the basement that adds a designer touch. The color palette is light and bright, giving the home an inviting and uplifting feel. Porcelain tile was chosen throughout for its durability and low maintenance, with selections including a rare grey blue porcelain in the second-floor bath and white marble look tile in the basement shower, both selected for their designer appeal. All trim work was meticulously finished using oil infused trim paint, offering ten times the durability of standard latex. The chef's kitchen is equipped with brand-new Frigidaire appliances, shaker-style white cabinets, a porcelain tile backsplash, and Carrara quartz countertops, creating a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. Additional updates include a brand new garage, roofing system, double hung windows, and all new exterior metals, including fascia, gutters, window trim, and flashings. Tuckpointing was completed after the most recent winter to ensure structural integrity. All doors, interior and exterior, have been replaced, complete with new hardware, and the landscaping has been freshly completed to enhance curb appeal. This home was not just flipped, it was crafted to be a forever home. With the builder being a seasoned construction company, no detail was overlooked, and no corners were cut. A rare opportunity in one of Chicago's most community focused neighborhoods.
