1654 North Claremont Avenue, Chicago

Welcome to this exceptional 5 bedroom + 3.1 bathroom single family home, situated on a full sized Chicago lot on one of Bucktown's most picturesque, one-way, tree-lined streets, just blocks from the 606 Bloomingdale Trail and the area's finest local restaurants & boutiques! The home's exterior defines curb appeal, and is surrounded by a manicured garden, red brick pavers, a secured entryway & limestone steps. This residence opens up to a gracious living room adorned by a cast stone fireplace, high ceilings and architecturally interesting elements such as the herringbone floor detailing and archways, while natural light floods the room through the many windows and Juliet balcony doors. The chef's kitchen is perfect for culinary enthusiasts, equipped with a stainless steel appliance package including a Viking double oven range with griddle and oversized hood, island with breakfast bar seating, chevron patterned backsplash, and quartz countertops. The expansive family room extends off of the kitchen, finished with coffered ceiling detailing and an expansive space to welcome and entertain guests. Some of our favorite features of the main level are the desk nook with ample cabinetry for necessary storage, speakers for surround sound, oversized coat closet, crown molding, and not-to-miss moody powder room finished with a wall mounted vanity with a marble counter & matching polished chrome accessories. Ascending to the second floor, discover three generously sized bedrooms, a full guest bathroom, and the primary bedroom which is a sanctuary in itself. Just recently was this entire ensuite bathroom transformed and designed by Caroline Turner Interiors, offering the most luxurious shower featuring custom ironwork doors, imported tile, Waterworks hardware and a deep soaking tub for ultimate relaxation. Separate, extra wide vanities are outfitted with smart storage, side sconces for warm lighting, marble countertops & matching hardware - with a statement globe chandelier to complete the space. Every detail was intentionally incorporated, from the heated floors, fun wallpapered water closet, professionally organized walk-in closet with window + bench, to the stackable washer/dryer for convenience. The large second and third bedrooms make for perfect kids rooms, and offer even more closet/storage space. The lower level has incredibly high ceilings and great natural light, and is the ideal setup for guests with extended stays, in-law suite or for an au pair. The recreational room's focal points are the refaced fireplace and wet bar, equipped with a beverage fridge, sink, subway tile & decorative floating shelves. This level offers so much additional storage, a full bathroom and two bedrooms, with one making for a great office setup and opens up to the back patio. Beyond the meticulously landscaped patio/garden is a 2-car garage with a rooftop deck, pergola for shade & attached grill with utility sink for easy dining al fresco. This sensational home is warm and inviting, and combines functionality with elegance, with so many details not spoken for. Conveniently located in the heart of Bucktown, close to eateries, parks, the farmer's market, public transportation, the 606 trail & so much more!
