Rarely available detached single family home! Flooded with natural light and beautifully designed, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom detached home in the heart of West Bucktown is a rare find. The updated kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, where a wood-burning fireplace sets the scene for cozy evenings. Step out onto the back deck and into the newly added gazebo for beautiful summer nights spent relaxing and enjoying company. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with soaring 20-foot vaulted ceilings, a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath featuring dual sinks and a walk-in shower complete with dual shower-heads. Skylights and oversized windows bathe the upper level in natural light, while a recently installed HVAC system ensures comfort year-round. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete this level. The lower level is equally inviting, with tall ceilings, an abundance of sunlight, and a second fireplace that turns on with the flip of a switch. A spacious rec room offers flexibility for work or play, while the additional bedroom and full bath make for the perfect guest or in-law suite. A laundry/utility room with ample storage space and exterior access rounds out the basement. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers an abundance of privacy for relaxation or entertaining. The two-car garage and rare, always-available street parking make city living effortless. Beyond the home, this block is truly special. With a newly built park at the corner and an entrance to the 606 just steps away, you have quick access to running/walking paths and some of the best restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques in Wicker Park and Bucktown. The Western Blue Line stop and bus routes make commuting a breeze, and the double-lot buffer between you and your neighbors create a sense of privacy that's hard to find in the city. From its recent updates including new floors, a remodeled powder room, and new fireplace facades, to its unbeatable location, this home offers the best of both worlds: city convenience with a true neighborhood feel.
