Welcome to 1717 W Catalpa Ave - a 1906 Andersonville gem that seamlessly blends timeless charm with modern updates. This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, offering great living space and storage while preserving its vintage character. The recently gut-rehabbed first floor and basement feature a stylish kitchen with updated appliances, refreshed baths, and flexible living areas. Upstairs, the fully-renovated second floor boasts a serene primary suite with a spacious walk-in closet and ensuite bath, plus two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The partially-finished basement adds even more versatility with a family/bonus room and full bath - perfect for guests, a home office, or recreation. Outdoor spaces are just as inviting, from the classic covered front porch to the expansive backyard deck, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A two-car garage provides added convenience. All of this sits just steps from Andersonville's vibrant dining, shopping, and cultural scene, making this home the perfect balance of historic character and modern comfort in one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods.
