Absolutely stunning renovation of an upscale single-family home charmer in the heart of Bucktown reimagined with the most discerning eye for design, quality, and custom craftsmanship. Every inch of this home has been meticulously curated with timeless materials and thoughtful details that elevate everyday living. Step into a striking entryway featuring custom oxidized maple closet doors with live-edge wood and backlit resin setting the tone for the exceptional finishes found throughout. The kitchen is a showstopper anchored by a substantial 15.5' quartzite island, boasting a handmade tile backsplash, Viking appliances, Hansgrohe faucet, Blanco sink, Armac Martin knurled brass pulls, Restoration Hardware lighting, and enhanced by custom Elko Hardwood shelving, island cutting board and matching beam over the built-in banquette echoing a theme of warmth and sophistication. In the living room, you'll find a sleek double-sided fireplace with quartzite surround, and light-filled open space that flows seamlessly for entertaining or cozy nights in. Upstairs boasts soaring vaulted 15.5' ceilings, Velux skylights and remote-controlled shades, and two generously sized bedrooms with two bright and airy bathrooms. The primary suite features a wall of closets, a balcony with Trex decking, and a fully updated bathroom appointed with a separate shower and soaking tub, a gorgeous quartzite vanity, and spa-like tranquility. The lower level is a true extension of the home's luxury, with its Elko Hardwood custom built-in walnut entertainment center, a wet bar with quartzite countertops, Armac Martin knurled nickel pulls, beverage center and custom lit shelving for effortless hosting. Outside, tightly woven bluestone paves the front and back yards with exceptional craftsmanship, while custom parkway benches offer a charming place to gather. New furnace and AC systems complete this move-in ready gem. Set on one of Bucktown's most coveted blocks (and the block for Halloween), you're just steps from the 606 Trail, neighborhood parks, and the area's best boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. A home that lives like a work of art-this is a rare opportunity to own something truly special.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
