5140 N Monticello Ave.

East exposures soak in the sun, and an 18+ acre park and preserve at the rear garden gate make this a green space lover's dream. Tucked into a lush corner of North Park this sweet all-brick 1950's ranch has beautiful hardwood floors throughout, recently refinished, and the whole house has been freshly painted and trimmed. The sunny living and dining rooms enjoy generous space, and open to an eat-in kitchen with several workstations, white appliances, and custom tile. The bedroom gallery includes two spacious bedrooms, and a king-size primary with two separate closets. The full bath has a soaking tub and shower and features neutral porcelain tile. Downstairs the huge family room is flanked by a full wall of vintage closets for plenty of storage, and allows plenty of space for entertainment, recreation, and work/study, plus separate laundry, double sink, storage, and mechanical room, plus a half bath. The rear garden is an absolute treasure with brick paver patio, open deck, green space, mature trees, mulched beds, perennial floral garden, and majestic west-facing views. Step right outside your gate to find amazing walk and bike trails, and park house with resident sports and theater programs. Nearby fantastic restaurants, groceries, and shops, university campuses with exercise facilities, music, and more, plus easy access to LSD, 90/94, Metra, and Brown Line at Kimball. Excellent schools, including Level 1+ Northside College Prep and Von Steuben Metropolitan Science Center. A truly wonderful place to live, and a rare find in the city.
