About this home
***MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED.*** Set on a 50' wide lot, in one of Buena Park's most cherished, architecturally significant, tree-lined enclaves, this stately 6BR/4.1BA home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chicago history. Originally constructed in 1914 and designed by noted Chicago architect Oscar Johnson, the home is an elegant interpretation of the American Foursquare enriched with Prairie School influences, and the hallmark "Hutchinson House" design. Inside, the home seamlessly blends historic character with modern livability across four levels. Throughout the home, timeless craftsmanship and architectural details are on display, and complemented by carefully considered updates that respect the integrity of the original design. From the proportions of the square living spaces and the extraordinary flow of the layout, to the original millwork, doors, and abundant natural light filtering through oversized windows, this home is elegant, confident, and comfortable. Stepping through the front door into the grand foyer instantly feels majestic and warm, featuring a sweeping staircase and original wainscoting. The south-facing living room is abundant with natural light and features a wood burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and leads to a full-width front porch to relax and enjoy the lakefront breezes, or chat with passing neighbors. The spacious kitchen is the perfect place to entertain or spend quiet mornings with a cup of coffee and was recently enhanced with newer Quartz countertops and cabinet hardware, and features stainless steel appliances. Just off the kitchen is the family room, with built-ins and leads to the exceptional outdoor deck. Rounding out the main level is the formal dining room with incredible design and original leaded glass windows. Awesome powder room a few steps down from the kitchen! The second level has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and laundry. The primary suite features a large walk-in closet and 3 additional closets, sitting area that can also function as an office, and an updated full bath with dual vanity and walk-in steam shower with two shower heads. All 3 of the other bedrooms have windows on two walls to maximize natural light, large closets, and access to a beautifully refreshed full bathroom. Perched at the top of the house is the remodeled 3rd level with a game room, bedroom, built-in storage space along the knee walls, and a full bath. The fully finished basement offers an excellent space for gaming tables, entertaining year-round, and has a bedroom and full bath, plus a bonus room for a home gym, office, or possible 7th bedroom. Endless storage options with the 3 storage rooms here, too. Outside is the newer deck refurbished with Trex, a turfed space for four-legged family members, and a 2-car garage with EV charger. Beyond its architectural significance, the home carries a rich lineage tied to Chicago's cultural fabric, including past ownership by acclaimed journalist and author Robert J. Casey, and ties to silent film stars. Positioned on one of the neighborhood's most picturesque blocks--known for its collection of historically significant homes and strong sense of community. Just steps from the CTA Sheridan or Wilson Red & Purple Line stations and multiple bus stops. The vibrance and charm of Buena Avenue starts right outside the door--walk to neighborhood dining and nightlife, like Bar on Buena, The Reservoir, Klein's Bakery and Cafe, North Buena Wine & Deli, and Dollop, plus the Uptown branch of the Chicago Public library. Continue down Buena Avenue to the Lake Shore Drive pedestrian underpass leading to the best of Lake Michigan life--Peace Garden, Lakefront Trail, Sydney Marovitz Golf Course, Montrose Dog Beach, Montrose Harbor and Bird Sanctuary. Trader Joe's is opening in the next several months just two blocks away at Montrose and Clarendon! Exceptional quality of big city life, with small town charm, await this home's next owner....
