Perfectly located on a quiet, tree-lined one-way street in the heart of the coveted SW corner of Bucktown, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom historic Chicago workers cottage is not to be missed! Upon approaching the home, the first thing you will notice is the warm and inviting curb appeal - a fully landscaped front yard with a wrought iron fence and a beautiful brick facade with decorative window lintels, carefully restored stained glass windows, and gorgeous solid wood leaded glass front doors. Often referred to by neighbors and passersby as "the prettiest house on the block", the interior of the home has been thoughtfully updated over the years to provide all of the modern conveniences today's buyer is looking for without sacrificing any of the original charm and character - truly the best of both worlds! High ceilings with crown molding, wide-plank hardwood floors, recessed lighting, upgraded fixtures, custom built-ins and window treatments throughout. The main level of the home features an open-concept living room anchored by a cozy remote-control gas fireplace with custom bookshelves, a separate dining area, a small den/home-office nook, a full bathroom with bidet and soaking tub, and a tastefully updated kitchen with high-end stainless-steel appliances (including a Chicago pizza restaurant's gas oven/stove!) on a southern inspired brick floor kitchen which leads to your fenced in backyard with spacious 2.5 car garage. The second floor of the home offers two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors, including an oversized primary bedroom suite boasting a custom walk-in closet with organizers, a remote-control skylight, and a luxurious en-suite bath with Jacuzzi tub. The upstairs laundry room with built-in shelving is conveniently located between the bedrooms! A well-lit and professionally floored & insulated attic is perfect for additional storage. A+ location in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods in the sought-after Pulaski school district! With a walk score of 94, the home is just 3 minutes from the 606; 2 minutes to Ehrler Park; and 8 minutes to 2 Blue Line stops (North Ave/Damen & Western).
