The Old Irving Park Victorian
SOLD 2024
This beautiful 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, extra wide single-family home is located on a double lot on a quiet, tree-lined street in Chicago's Old Irving Park neighborhood. While this home has been modernized, some of the original character of the house, including restoration of the original fireplace, has been specially maintained. From the exterior, you will see brand new Hardie Board siding, new Anderson windows, a newly built front porch and back deck, freshly tuckpointed chimney, and a new exterior roof. Inside, abundant natural light fills the home through transom windows. A center staircase anchors the graciously sized front foyer while a bright and airy open floor plan provides the ideal space to live, work, relax, and entertain. The living room enjoys sunlight from two exposures and features the restored gas fireplace. A partial wall separates the living room from the dining room, allowing the perfect space for either formal dinner parties or casual dining. This elegantly appointed kitchen offers custom cabinetry, classic soapstone counters, Sub-Zero, Bosch, and Wolf appliances, and a newly constructed butler's pantry. The back deck is accessible through floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and provides the perfect place to grill. Tucked into the corner at the back of the kitchen is a beautifully appointed mud room. A bonus room on this level is the ideal space for a home office or a den with both exterior and interior windows bringing light in from multiple exposures. A powder room and a deep coat closet complete the space on the main level. Up the center staircase to the second level, you will find a graciously sized primary suite. The walk-in closet has a custom hardwood system with special lighting installed. The ensuite bath has been exquisitely designed and features a soaking tub, oversized shower, and a dual vanity. Two additional, large bedrooms also occupy this floor, both with spacious closet space, along with a full bath and a spacious laundry room with LG washer/dryer, a sink, and plenty of additional space. Downstairs on the lower level is a family room space so large, it can serve all of your recreational needs. A fourth bedroom and a full bath are also located on the lower level, along with two storage rooms. The backyard offers multiple spaces to relax, garden, play, and entertain. The deck off the kitchen leads to the large yard where you will find a mini pickleball court behind the garage. The garage houses two cars and the driveway can accommodate four more.

Very unique to this neighborhood in the city, this property also boasts a separate 2-car garage with an unobstructed patio to soak in the sun and city-skyline.

The Irving Park Castle
SOLD 2023
We call this the "Castle" because of the soaring ceilings and limestone facade. RC channels and 5/8 inch sheet rock provides added sound insulation and enhanced fireproofing. Tankless water heater means you will be less likely to run out of hot water. Our focus is on not only design but comfort and utility. A spacious floor plan with 11 feet ceilings on two floors and designer kitchen will make this castle one happy home.
