Welcome to this vintage treasure tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined, one-way street in the heart of Wicker Park. Overflowing with character, this spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offers timeless details and an abundance of natural light throughout. Original hardwood floors and rich wood trim set the stage, while oversized windows with stained glass bathe the sunlit living room in warmth. The elegant wood-burning fireplace, framed with ornate millwork, serves as a stunning focal point and seamlessly connects to the formal dining room, which boasts a built-in hutch perfect for displaying glassware and hosting memorable dinners. The generously sized eat-in kitchen marries old-world charm with thoughtful updates, including terra cotta tile flooring, newer cabinetry, and an apron-front sink. The oversized bedroom features a walk-in closet, and the home includes ample storage, highlighted by a second walk-in closet off the living area. The bathroom is equally inviting, featuring a spacious glass shower wrapped in subway tile and a built-in bench for added comfort. Step outside to a private deck overlooking a lush shared yard, beautifully landscaped with annuals and perennials, your own serene oasis in the city! Other highlights include free shared laundry in the basement and additional storage. With its preserved architectural details, spacious and functional floorplan, and unbeatable location just steps from all the amazing dining, coffee shops, and cocktail bars that Wicker Park has to offer including Kasama, Enoteca Roma, Queen Mary, Folklore, Colectivo, and so much more. This rare gem offers the perfect blend of vintage elegance and modern livability, it's no surprise this beloved home was cherished for over 30 years.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
