2121 N Hudson Ave.

The 2100 block of Hudson Ave-pristine, desirable, tree-shaded-in east Lincoln Park's Mid North District is entered from Dickens only and runs one way north to Webster. It is lined with beautiful historic buildings and close to everything that Lincoln Park offers. The unique Italianate cottage graces a beautifully landscaped 46' lot. Built in 1869, designed by WW Boyington, architect of the Water Tower, it is one of three north side houses that survived the Chicago Fire. It has been nurtured, enlarged and improved by the current owners. It is surprisingly much larger than it appears to be. Original frame clapboard sided with beautiful wooden carved details. A wide exterior staircase, a focal point of the original design, leads to the main level. Living room, with 2-story cathedral ceiling and west and south windows, is filled with natural light. Double sided WBFP warms the library, which looks over the gardens of the neighboring property. Four sizable bedrooms and four baths, each located to allow for maximum privacy. The large and bright primary bedroom suite has a huge walk in closet; bath with separate shower, tub and double sink vanity; a private deck and is located just half a flight of stairs from two of the bedrooms. The lower level suite-bedroom, media room and bath, has a private entrance and would be an incredible space for a live-in nanny or a private office suite. A welcoming European kitchen with abundant quarter sawn oak cabinets, granite counters, antique French tiled floor, table space and high-end stainless-steel appliances is the perfect space for exploring your inner Julia Child or just plating your carry-out. The flexible great room/dining room opens into the amazing side yard. Two lots of record allows for this much desired outdoor space with patio for alfresco dining and grilling, a fountain, room for playing catch, a swing set or a veggie garden. This tranquil place is an oasis in bustling Lincoln Park-beautifully landscaped and fully fenced. Attached two car garage with storage. Radiant heated floors on the east side of the house. Two separate forced air systems. 400 amp electrical service. For the discerning buyer who appreciates the classic but enjoys the modern.
