Just steps from Michelin-star restaurants in the heart of Pilsen awaits a meticulously maintained gem with tons of updates in the last few years! This slice of history that was first constructed as a multi-unit property in the 1890's and now offers 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and additional office/library/storage rooms across 3 levels, PLUS a BONUS 4th floor loft/workshop for more than 5,600 sf of livable interior space!! Complemented by additional outdoor areas including fenced front/back yard areas, 3 XL balconies, and skyline views, this home provides an abundance of space for all activities! Beginning at "old Chicago level", the entire home is above ground, with 7 total lower-level rooms: a living area currently used as a playroom, two bedrooms, one full bath, the first laundry area/mudroom, and 2 storage rooms. This was originally a first floor apartment and offers front and rear access, making it a great option for au-pair's or in-laws quarters. The expansive main living level offers a sophisticated urban oasis with Brazilian cherrywood floors sprawling throughout the formal living room, dining area, and beyond the chef's kitchen; boasting a tantalizing amount of space for entertaining. New Samsung refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher. Thermador range offers 5 burners with griddle. Tons of cabinet and drawer storage space including pull-out spice rack. Past the dining room, find a small library, 1 office, 1 full bathroom and a 2nd mudroom near the back entry, opening to the first of 3 deck areas. Follow the cherrywood stairs to level 2 and find the family room centered around a gas burning fireplace detailed with a vintage mantelpiece, and tons of natural sunlight. Level 2 also offers a wet bar, two similar-sized bedrooms, another laundry room, and a king-sized primary suite; complete with a full ensuite bath, walk-in-closet and access to large deck overlooking the fenced backyard area. The top floor offers a great space for an artist's loft or workshop along with another oversized balcony and views of Chicago's skyline. 1-block from Thalia Hall and 18th Street restaurants, centrally positioned to Rush, the medical district, UIC, and just 15 minutes to Lurie Children's, Northwestern and University of Chicago.
