The primary suite includes a walk-in closet with custom shelving and a spa-inspired bath with double sinks, quartz counters, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. The second and third bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the fourth bedroom enjoys access to another full bath.The fully finished lower level is an entertainer's delight, offering heated floors, a large recreation room with a wet bar, two additional bedrooms, a massive walk-in closet, a fourth full bath, lots of storage, and the second laundry room. Set on an oversized 35x123 lot, the beautifully landscaped yard features a blue stone patio, perfect for outdoor gatherings. Finishing off this exceptional property is a 2-car garage with additional storage. Ideally located near top-rated schools, including Peirce Elementary (Level 1+ CPS), Rogers Park Montessori, and Lycee Francais, and within walking distance to Montrose Beach, Andersonville's vibrant shopping and dining scene, the lakefront, and convenient transportation options.
