Stunning, fully renovated, and move-in-ready home. A rare blend of historic character and sophisticated modern design, this beautifully reimagined 1888 Victorian has been extensively renovated while preserving the charm that makes an older home so special. Nearly everything is new, with exceptional finishes and thoughtful details throughout. The light-filled main level features high ceilings, large new windows, brand-new hardwood floors and designer lighting. The living and dining spaces flow beautifully into a stunning eat-in kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized quartz island that creates a natural gathering place. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a beautifully finished bath with a walk-in shower and generous closet space. Three additional bedrooms, great storage and conveniently located second-floor laundry make the home as functional as it is stylish. The bright, finished, bone-dry basement adds valuable living space with a family room, full bath, and dedicated office, ideal for working from home, along with additional storage. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a welcoming front porch, new rear deck, and a fully fenced backyard with a privacy fence, dining area, fire pit, brand-new two-car garage, and 2 additional parking spaces. Behind the luxury finishes are those substantial unseen improvements, including new electrical, plumbing, and drain tiles. Located just blocks from Madison Street, this is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the character and proportions of an 1888 Victorian with the style, functionality, and updates today's buyers want. Close to shops, restaurants, an AMAZING park district, and a short walk to school. Close to the Metra, the Blue & Green Lines, and the Eisenhower Expressway. Easy drive to O'Hare and Midway airports. Come enjoy Forest Park...Big City Access & Small Town Charm.
