01About this home

Exceptional custom Modern Craftsman home completely renovated down to the studs in 2015, blending timeless architecture with modern amenities and quality craftsmanship. Offering approximately 3,200 square feet of finished living space across all levels, this impressive residence is located in Union Ridge, a charming residential community within the larger Norwood Park neighborhood on Chicago's northwest side, just moments from Oriole Park. The home features an expansive covered wraparound porch spanning the front and side of the home, including a south-facing front porch measuring approximately 28 feet in length and an east-facing side porch measuring approximately 46 feet in length. Architectural highlights include multiple front gables, fiber-cement siding, an oversized heated garage with its own electric meter, EV charging station, peak ceiling height exceeding 14 feet, and an insulated overhead garage door approximately 8 feet tall, making it ideal for oversized vehicles, hobbyists, or additional storage. The property also features an additional parking pad, fully fenced yard, and an oversized double gate providing convenient alley access. The bright open-concept floor plan showcases soaring 8'10" ceilings on the main level and 9-foot ceilings on the second level, complemented by expansive windows that flood the home with natural light. A grand oak staircase with custom runner serves as a focal point, while hardwood flooring, six-panel interior doors, a first-floor office, central vacuum system, and Lutron smart switches with hub enhance everyday living. The beautifully updated kitchen features 42" white shaker soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, decorative tile backsplash, center island, and stainless-steel appliances including a WiFi-enabled Samsung refrigerator. The main level also offers both a separate dining room and a spacious dinette area, with the dinette providing direct access to the rear deck through French doors, creating an ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining. Smart-home features include Hunter Douglas Alexa-enabled remote-controlled blinds in the living room, dining room, office, and primary bedroom, along with cordless Honeycomb Blackout Shades in all three secondary bedrooms. The spacious primary suite offers a walk-in closet and luxurious en-suite bath with soaking tub, custom walk-in shower, and quality finishes. Three additional bedrooms feature hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, abundant natural light, and blackout shades. The finished English basement with 8-foot ceilings provides exceptional flexibility with daylight windows, a large recreation/lounge area, half bath, and a versatile flex room ideal as a bedroom, home gym, office, or hobby space. An expansive storage room offers custom shelving, extensive organization space, wine storage, and a drain tile system installed in the storage area. Additional improvements include basement insulation, sump pump system, radon mitigation system, professionally painted interior, Vivint security system, and WiFi-enabled Samsung washer and dryer. Outdoor living continues with an approximately 18' x 26' concrete patio, perfect for entertaining, grilling, or relaxing. Major components including the roof, windows, siding, HVAC systems, water heater, flooring, bathrooms, kitchen, and second-floor addition were completed in 2015. Conveniently located near Oriole Park's athletic fields, playgrounds, spray pool, walking trails, shopping, dining, Metra, CTA transportation, O'Hare Airport, and major expressways, this meticulously maintained home offers the perfect combination of space, functionality, modern comfort, and an exceptional northwest side location.
