The home welcomes you with soaring 10-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and a warm, inviting layout. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, while a separate dining area adds functionality for everyday living and entertaining. Off the living room, a flexible den offers the ideal set up for a home office, a guest room, or additional lounge space. Expansive front windows flood the home with light, while the rear deck enjoys sunny afternoon exposure. A full renovation in 2017 introduced a sleek, modern kitchen, updated bathrooms, and upgraded mechanicals. More recent updates include a new furnace (2025), new water heater (2022), tuckpointing on the north wall in 2023, full recessed lighting in the living room, all new paint throughout, new and expanded back deck, and new kitchen sink faucet - offering both style and peace of mind. Additional highlights include a large private storage unit. Thoughtfully designed to evolve with your lifestyle, this home easily transitions from a comfortable work-from-home setup to a welcoming space for guests or a growing household. Enjoy cozy evenings by the fireplace in the winter, and sun-soaked afternoons on the back deck in warmer months. The location is exceptional. Indulge in some of the neighborhood's most loved spots including Floriole Cafe & Bakery, Sweet Mandy B's, Armitage Alehouse, Dimmi Dimmi, Homeslice, Avli Taverna, and Sushi-San, with new favorites always emerging nearby. Outdoor options are plentiful with the newly renovated Trebes Park (2025) across the street, Adams Park and Oz Park all within easy reach. Enjoy premier shopping along Armitage Avenue, convenient grocery options like Mariano's, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, and effortless commuting via the nearby CTA Brown, Purple and Red Lines at Armitage or Fullerton. Filled with tree-lined streets and strong sense of community complete with block parties, seasonal events, and easy access to the lakefront straight down Webster. This is Lincoln Park living at its finest.
