On a double and corner lot in Old Irving Park, this lovingly preserved and restored Queen Anne home on a beautiful tree-lined street may be what you have been dreaming of! On the NW corner with sun pouring thru the stained glass windows all along the homes south exposure, this home will take you back in time with craftsmanship at every turn. The inviting front porch is complete with a porch swing, and the original hand carved front door invites you into this special home where you are welcomed by the stunning original staircase in the foyer. Solid oak double doors lead into the living room, which is open to the dining room, and then thru the pocket doors to the family room. Bright and sunny, open and airy with ~10’ ceilings, these rooms showcase the south sunlight, stained glass windows, large bay window, decorative fireplace with original mantle, and period specific custom crown moldings and ceiling work. The eat-in kitchen was renovated to match the style of the home and features a custom painted tin tiled ceiling, island, prep sink, great storage, access to a spacious deck overlooking the enormous yard, and a 2nd staircase to the second level. There is also full bath on the main level as well as an office. The second floor boasts 5 spacious bedrooms with large and deep closets, a full bathroom, and a “maids kitchen” that is ready to be a 2nd bathroom or a terrific 2nd floor laundry room. There is ceiling access to the extremely large and tall (about 11’ to the peak) attic that is ready to be finished for 829sf of additional living space. The freshly painted basement is unfinished with very large windows, a laundry area, root cellar, and a door to the backyard. Imagine, a backyard in Chicago where you can actually throw a football! This 50 x 156’deep lot features mature landscaping, a huge and beautiful tree, lovingly maintained flowers, and even rubarb that was originally planted over 50 years ago by a previous owner and comes back every year! Not only does this home have amazing vintage details, it has central heat and air, a new roof (~2014), dishwasher, all new paint, new carpet on 2nd level, and the owners have replaced windows & siding over the years.
