    What's special

    Welcome to this stunning contemporary 5-bedroom, 4.1-bath single-family home located in the highly sought-after Audubon School District, in the true heart of Roscoe Village. Thoughtfully designed with an open-concept floor plan and filled with abundant natural light, this home offers the perfect blend of modern style and everyday functionality-ideal for both comfortable living and effortless entertaining. The expansive main level features a large great room that seamlessly connects to a chef's kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a gas range, granite countertops and backsplash, an oversized eat-in island, and extensive cabinetry. Recent updates include a new refrigerator (2018) and dishwasher (2025). Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite provides a private retreat with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, two custom California walk-in closets, and a private balcony. The spa-like ensuite bath features dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms-one with its own balcony-along with a full bath and conveniently located laundry room complete the second level. A new furnace and A/C system (2018) ensure year-round comfort. The lower level is designed for flexibility and entertaining, offering a spacious media room, craft room, second laundry area, and two additional bedrooms. A stylish bar/kitchenette added in 2019, complete with a kegerator, creates the perfect space for hosting. Outdoor living is equally impressive with multiple spaces including two patios, a large deck off the kitchen, a beautifully landscaped backyard (2023), and a rooftop deck ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The newly built oversized 2-car garage (2023) adds convenience and functionality. Additional updates include a 70-gallon water heater (2021) and freshly painted black front windows (2025), enhancing both efficiency and curb appeal. Ideally located just steps from Roscoe Village's vibrant dining and shopping scene, you'll enjoy easy access to neighborhood favorites along Roscoe and Damen, as well as convenient proximity to the Brown Line (Paulina & Addison stops) and multiple bus routes for a seamless commute. This home offers the perfect combination of modern luxury, thoughtful upgrades, and an unbeatable location in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods.
