1044 W Dickens Ave. #2, Chicago, IL 60614

Tucked in the lush treetops of Chicago's beloved Lincoln Park neighborhood, this south-facing 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom architectural retreat (as seen in Crain's Chicago Business!) has so many details to remember. You'll enter through the gracious foyer & first notice the soaring 10-foot ceilings, massive windows with sunlight pouring in, impeccably maintained historic woodwork, & view of quaint Dickens Avenue below. Perhaps one of this home's standout features is its masterfully designed full-height built-ins. The custom red oak entry cabinet is the ideal storage space for shoes, bags, hats, & coats; in the adjacent living room, the custom white oak bookshelf offers seating, display, & extra cabinets. These pieces breathe new life into the storied space! As you go from the living area to the formal dining room under an archway, you will fall for the modern blue-dotted (thanks to chalk paint!) wall design & dual eastern windows, bringing in light all day long. This room can comfortably fit a 6-8 person dining table - a dream for entertaining guests. A hallway (with a charming hutch!) takes you into the spacious & chic kitchen, where you will discover brand-new stainless appliances, on-trend wooden pulls on white cabinetry, & quartz countertops. There is a large center island where you can perch at barstools, too. Next, the renovated bathroom showcases pristine floor-to-ceiling wall tile, tile flooring, a floating vanity, & stylish finishes from wood-dowel shower rods to a gold-gilded mirror. Both bedrooms offer roomy closets, more windows, & flexible floor plans for a myriad of layout options. Last but not least, the home has been upgraded with modern touches like closet organization & sleek lighting throughout - don't miss the airy & cool Ingo Maurer chandelier in the living room! 1044 West Dickens is a gorgeous all-brick 4-unit building in the very heart of Lincoln Park. There is a serene courtyard for owners to share, basement storage, common laundry, & very easy permitted street parking. The address is near to neighborhood faves on Armitage & Webster, such as Old Pueblo Cantina, Sweet Mandy B's, Homeslice, Art Effect, La Colombe, Armitage Brown Line, Oz Park, & so much more. Welcome home.
