    What's special

    Rare opportunity to own one of Humboldt Park's favorite houses. This pink abode looks as if it just dropped from the sky, by way of New Orleans. Be prepared for passerbyers to stop and ask you about your home, because it is truly a sight to see. They don't make homes like this anymore. Expansive 10 foot ceilings and extra tall windows to match bathe the interior living space with natural light. Much of the home has been upgraded over the last 3 years, retaining the the vintage charm with the original solid wood doors, wood millwork and trim, while enhancing the look with custom elements. New Wisconsin grown white oak herringbone floors add elegance throughout the home. The kitchen has been transformed into a cooks paradise including new walnut butcher block counter tops and ample counter space. The kitchen & eating area is bathed in natural light making food prep and hanging out an absolute pleasure. All new appliances including a Kucht range, Bosch dishwasher, and LG refrigerator. The half bath on the first floor has been completely upgraded including tasteful ceramic tile flooring. Sweeping original spiral staircase to 2nd floor adds a cool vintage touch. Up to the second floor with 3 large bedrooms including a giant master bedroom with plenty of space that can easily accommodate a king sized bed. 2nd floor continues the theme of amazingly tall ceilings and tall windows that result in tons of glorious natural light. The full bath has been recently upgraded and includes a vintage iron clawfoot bathtub. Some of the other upgrades including custom made New Orleans style front door (designed and built in New Orleans by a master woodworker and shipped here), imported and vintage lighting fixtures, custom made ironwork balcony and porch, custom made ironwork fence, custom made stair runner and custom made stained glass transom, and new designer kitchen light fixtures. Additionally there is a full unfinished basement, ready for your vision to transform it. The New Orleans inspired balcony is perfect for gathering with friends on warm summer evenings. When the custom-designed english garden is in full bloom, you'll be greeted by the sweet smell of lilac, magnolias, lavender, and roses and visited by butterflies, bumblebees, cardinals, and the occasional bunny. Strategically designed for multi-season blooms, you will not ever want to leave this little slice of paradise on California Ave.Steps from all the best that Humboldt Park has to offer, like vintage shopping at Vintage Quest and Fox Club, across the street from a garden center, a few doors down from Monarch Community Garden, and steps from brunch favorites like Spinning J and Flying Saucer - you will never have a reason to leave your little block, which has a rare small town feel with friendly neighbors and visitors. Infrastructure improvements include: new gutters and downspouts with gutter guard, brand new high efficiency, digital boiler system, brand new hot water tank, new sump pump, new whole house water filtration system, new top-tier Anderson storm door, new upgraded electric panel, new kitchen radiator, brand new cedar side fence, new stone walkway in yard, all new sub-floors throughout the home, 3 new triple pane living room windows, brand new balcony and porch ceiling fans.
