Wow. Just wow. You will be so impressed and love the amount of width and space in this beautiful home in Ravenswood. The home opens up to an incredibly large living room area highlighted by the gas fireplace and bathed in natural light from the sunroom windows. Built in shelves line one of the walls in the sunroom, adding an element of character to a perfect area for a reading nook, home office, or swinging in a hammock. (Yes, my clients hang a hammock in here, which I think is quite brilliant actually.) There is an abundance of room for a very large dining table and side hutch for formal entertaining in style, which yes, will return soon. The kitchen is so beautifully redone, with the wall completely opened up to the living area and featuring newer white cabinetry (tons of them), stainless steel appliances, backsplash tiles, and butcher block counters hand made from recycled wood by a local artisan. As you continue through the home, the unique layout will continue to impress as you as you pass the in-unit washer and dryer hidden by a pocket door. Next you will come across a hall bathroom that jack & jills into the second bedroom, creating an ensuite room with a sliding barn door. This bedroom is quite large, easily allowing for king-sized bed & furniture if desired. At the back of the home, the primary bedroom is even larger and easily accommodates a tremendous amount of furniture. (The current sellers have a king size bed, two dressers, book shelves, and a home office set up which might normally go up in the sunroom, if it wasn't for the need to hang a hammock there!) The primary bathroom uses a space-saving barn door and includes a whirlpool tub. A back hall to the outside creates a perfect mud room entry space and opens out to a large private deck that easily could fit outdoor furniture, grill and table. Of course you have central air, and there are hardwood floors throughout the entire home. To top it all off, there are two parking spaces that come with the home along with a really big private storage room in the basement. (Big, as in the size of a bedroom big.) And then let's mention the location, as if the home wasn't incredible enough. You are a very short stroll to not only the Montrose Brown Line El stop and Metra, but also dining for seafood or cereal at Glenn's Diner, wood-fired pizza at Spacca Napoli Pizzeria, creative pottery making at Lill Street Gallery, coffee Julius Meinl or Starbucks to get you through morning Zoom calls and reading long-winded real estate descriptions, artsy shopping for cool stuff at Hazel, working out at Ravenswood Fitness, or most importantly, ice cream and candies from Margie's Candies. And don't forget, you are within easy walking distance to Lincoln Square, Wells Park, Marianos, Fin Sushi Bar, LA Fitness, etc. There really isn't much more you could really need! Pretty amazing home that isn't like any of the other places you have been seeing. Guaranteed.
