2144 N Dayton Street

Chicago, Illinois 60614

This elegant Four Bedroom, Three and a half Bathroom residence is the quintessential blend of old-world charm exquisitely updated for modern living. Located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods, Dayton Street is particularly special. On the sunny West side of the street, stands 2144 N. Dayton, a handsome three-story rowhome built in 1881. Its brick facade is trimmed with stone in ways that give the house a classical demeanor. Every part of the exterior was extensively restored less than a decade ago. The windows were replaced, and the surrounding elements were recreated by skilled craftsmen - including a new limestone staircase that leads to the double door entry which leads you into a grand entry gallery with a dramatic staircase. A combination of classical and modern, marble mantels, oak floors, generous moldings, and soaring ceiling heights, lends a feeling of French luxury with streamlined Chicago living. The living room marble fireplace is the centerpiece of the room along with the oversized windows overlooking the tree-lined street. This room flows into the formal dining room allowing space for a 10-person table and features two built-in cabinets. This perfect floorplan flows into a cozy family room, kitchen, and breakfast area. The galley-style kitchen is bright and functional with tons of cabinets for ultimate storage, and stone countertops complimented by top-of-the-line appliances. One of your favorite spots will be the family room and the beautiful sun-filled breakfast room overlooking the landscaped backyard. The original grand staircase will lead you to the second floor featuring three bedrooms. Among the most surprising elements is the primary suite which is large in scale and offers an elegant arrangement including a cozy fireplace, walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom with double vanity and marble shower. This second floor offers two additional bedrooms with organized closets, a second full bath that has been fully renovated, and generous storage closets. The highlight of this level is the skylight, which makes everything glow. Another highlight is the finished walkout lower level which is the perfect space for entertaining and the 4th bedroom and full bath is a great space for your guests. You will also find a large laundry room with a side-by-side washer and dryer along with a utility sink. Behind the handsome rear facade is a fully landscaped backyard that is an entertainer's paradise with a gorgeous bluestone patio and a trex terrace perfect for more natural space. This backyard features sprinklers for easy living, mature trees, and flower beds ready for spring plantings. Best of all - a 2 car garage! This home has been well cared for and updated - nothing to do except move in and enjoy!
