4342 N Francisco Ave., Chicago, IL 60618

This stunning home was remodeled by an architect to retain the charm and beauty of a classic dwelling with the modern amenities, updated floor plan, and open spaces you want in a home today. The heart of this home is a centrally located kitchen, with warm shaker cherry cabinetry, exposed brick accents, and a large island. The kitchen steps down into a sun-filled living room, creating a dramatic 11' ceiling height, with built in bookshelves and triple view French doors that lead onto a beautiful back deck and quiet, leafy landscaped yard. Home features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on the 2nd floor, an open concept kitchen and living room, a patio and yard perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining, and an inviting front porch. Eye catching elements include cathedral ceilings, 2nd floor skylights, an open riser staircase, and translucent panel decor elements that create space definition and privacy while allowing light to enter. Updates include tear-off roof (2013) and 2 new furnaces (2015). Conveniently located on a quiet street within walking distance of Horner Park and the new River Walk with mixed-use path, Twisted Hippo and other fun dining, nightlife and retail. Only 3 blocks to the Brown Line Francisco station and within enrollment boundaries for Level 1+ Bateman elementary school.
