Stately & spacious, East Rogers Park mini-estate featuring 7 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 4 car garage and nearly 4,000 square feet - all close to the beach and the shores of Lake Michigan. Built in 1911, this home has been lovingly maintained & renovated over the years - a mixture of classic architecture and design with modern touches. With 4 levels, there is wonderful space to entertain, for guests & for home officing. The main floor features a grand, double living room with concrete, wood burning fireplace, bordered by leaded glass bookcases on either side - and this room steps out to enclosed 3-season porch. There's a massive dining room with beamed ceiling & built-in hutch, for your dinner party dreams! The updated kitchen is modern but with a nod to the home's history in its vintage detailing - with granite counters, quartz counters and, with a massive walk-in pantry/breakfast room, tons of storage. Both rooms overlook the fenced backyard. The upper two floors feature original, preserved bathrooms with spacious guest rooms - creating opportunity for multiple home offices, craft rooms, dens, play rooms - anything you can imagine! The top floor is set up as a primary suite - with king-sized bedroom, full bathroom, family room/lounge and the home's 7th bedroom - which could be combined to create a larger bedroom or used as the walk-in closet of your dreams. With 5 bedrooms & 2 full baths on the second floor, plus a 3 season porch, there is ample room for guests, a library or even a meditation/yoga space. A large, unfinished basement with workshop is perfect for expansion, including spaces that would be perfect as wine cellar and home gym. Electrical upgraded to 400 amps, allowing for 4 electric car chargers and a hot tub, per the owner. The home's location is convenient to both Loyola & Northwestern Universities, with easy access to CTA, Metra, dining/shops, grocery stores, parks and of course Lake Michigan. Taxes do not include exemptions. Come home!
