1407 Elmwood Avenue

Gorgeous brick 4-story rowhouse designed by Stephen A. Jennings! The welcoming front porch has stunning brick double-arches and leads to a large foyer flanked by a gorgeous oak staircase, an intimate living room with a gas fireplace, a large dining room that can accommodate the largest of families, a walk-in pantry closet, a newer kitchen with a center island that has expandable seating, a slide-in range/cooktop, tons of cabinets, stainless steel appliances, solid-surface counters, a breakfast area for a table and chairs, and a maid's staircase that goes all the way to the third floor. The adjacent basement stairs lead to the washer and dryer and a full unfinished basement. The back deck and fenced yard are out the kitchen door making entertaining a breeze. The master-piece oak stair case is open and airy and has a closet that goes deep under the stairs for coats and shoes. The second floor is open and bright because of the large staircase. The primary bedroom/bath ensuite is at the front of the home and is currently being used as the office. The wide hallway leads to three more bedrooms, a walk-in linen closet, and a large updated hall bath at the other end. The third floor is voluminous with an oak-paneled cathedral ceiling, a spacious family room, an office, a curved wall primary bedroom suite, and stairs up to a loft perfect for the band or kid performances. Below the loft is a darkroom and storage. New roof and new furnace/AC in 2021. There is room to build a garage as another one of the rowhomes has done. The in-town location is ideal - two blocks to downtown, the CTA, the Metra, and close to the lake! First time on the market in 24 years.
