Steps from Lake Michigan and Juneway Beach Park, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath home in the East Rogers Park district blends historic neighborhood charm with a complete rehab and expansion on an extra-wide lot. The large, light-filled house feels exceptionally warm due to the Arts and Crafts style, beautiful custom wood millwork, exposed brick, radiant hot-water heat, and thoughtful fixtures. Vintage-style floor tiles or hardwood floor throughout, with 9-foot ceilings on the main floor. Dining room has original crown moulding and a gorgeous bay window with built-in storage bench and lighting for a buffet on the east wall. A full second floor offers three bedrooms, an office loft, laundry room, and walk-out balcony. The primary suite features a brick hearth with gas fireplace flanked by built-in under-window benches that afford water views, and a custom shower walled with east-facing glass block. On the first floor there are two additional bedrooms, a sunroom/breakfast room, and an all-new kitchen with made-to-order Amish cabinetry, original refurbished butler's pantry, refinished maple floor, brand-new stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and farmhouse sink surrounding a butcher block island. A comfortable, spacious living room includes a wood-burning fireplace framed by original stained glass windows and built-in bookcases. Five-panel pocket doors open to a front sitting room encompassed by great windows overlooking the lake. The full, unfinished, heated basement, with sparkling new glass block windows for security and privacy, is the complete footprint of the home. In the oversized backyard there is a large patio beneath the second-floor balcony. Running the width of the lot are the three-car garage and room for a 4th vehicle. This recent renovation seamlessly carries vintage architectural features forward, marrying comfort amenities like pre-wired cable and ethernet with the classic style of the home. All new Marvin windows throughout, with transoms to let in the breeze off the lake. Just a 12 minute walk to CTA Red, Purple, and Yellow line trains.
