Welcome to this beautiful, light-filled brick home with lushly landscaped front and rear yards set on a picturesque block in Wicker Park and just a short walk to the namesake park! As you enter the home the lush maple greets you in an everchanging explosion of color. The entry foyer leads to the living room, anchored by a fireplace with custom stone detail, and a dining room that is just the right size for intimate family dining or large-scale entertaining. The kitchen and family room overlook the rear yard and offer incredible natural light with a full wall of east-facing windows and a large south-facing window. The smashing kitchen features white wood cabinets, stone countertops in a soft white with grey veining, white subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and opens to the family room, which is anchored by a fireplace, casual dining area, and the mudroom with two large, custom outfitted closets. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout. The glorious rear yard features extensive plantings, mature, leafy trees, a pergola, a brick-paved patio under the pergola, and a wood deck patio adjacent. There is a dog run next to the garage, which could also be an urban garden.
