Property Description

Secluded on Buena Park's tree-lined Junior Terrace is this rarely available 6BR/4.2BA Queen Anne on a beautifully landscaped 60 x 125 lot. Built circa 1897 as one of the first homes on the street! Surrounded by some of Chicago's most iconic historic homes, offers a rare blend of preserved architectural character and extensive modern updates across four levels of living space. Upon entering the impressive grand foyer the home showcases original woodwork, wood burning fireplace, tile, stained glass windows, pocket doors, and a sweeping staircase. The main level offers exceptional flow for both everyday living and entertaining--from the warm and inviting living room, featuring an original wood burning fireplace, to a formal dining room that can easily accommodate an 14+ seat table, to the kitchen that was redesigned with light and function as the primary focus, every inch of this level was planned with large scale entertaining in mind. The kitchen features top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, a six-burner La Cornue range with vented hood, quartz countertops, a solarium that can function as an additional sitting/living area, and a full wall of glass windows and doors that open to an expansive deck leading down to the fenced-in backyard.

The top floor provides exceptional flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a large playroom, office space, and an additional guest bath. The radiant heated lower level was dug down to add extra ceiling height and functionality, and features a spacious family room with a gas fireplace, an entertainment center, including a projector, retractable screen, and built-in surround sound, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a beautifully appointed guest suite with a full en suite bath. Additional highlights include zoned heating and cooling, two laundry areas, a 2 car garage with private driveway (no alley)!
