Located on a serene, tree-lined, one-way street is this rare offering in the heart of East Ravenswood. Designed and built by well-respected builder, Kevin Derrig, this impeccably crafted 6-7BR, 5.1BA home blends timeless architecture with thoughtful design, enduring quality, and an unmistakable sense of warmth. The design of the home cleverly uses the oversized lot (33'x163.3') to accentuate the flow of this floor plan and incorporate indoor/outdoor living. From the moment you step inside, the elongation of the main level is unmistakable - wide-open living and dining areas flow effortlessly into a chef's-level kitchen and open family and informal dining space, plus two fireplaces to round out the main level with warmth and comfort. High ceilings, gorgeous Jacobean hardwood floors stretching across the main and second floors, extensive custom millwork, and large JELD-WEN windows fill the space with light--perfect for plant enthusiasts, or those who enjoy sun all day long. The kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinetry reaching to the ceiling, a custom hood vent, two appliance garages, a walk-in pantry, and is anchored by an extended island with a custom Iceberg Quartzite countertop. Upstairs are 4BR's, 3BA's and a full laundry room with a wet-bar and pull-down attic access for additional storage. Most notably on this level is the tranquil primary suite with vaulted ceilings and two custom walk-in closets. The luxe primary en suite bathroom has a spa-like feel with its skylight, heated Carrera marble floors, marble countertop, dual vanities, fully tiled walk-in steam shower with rain-head, hand-shower, body sprayers, and a relaxing self-cleaning Jacuzzi bath. The three additional bedrooms (one with en suite bath), all feature custom built-out closets for maximal storage, large windows and high ceilings for a lovely light filled, airy vibe. The lower level impresses with full-height ceilings, tons of natural light, radiant-heated floors, wet-bar, and ample room for recreation or media - engineered for comfort and entertaining. This level also has a guest bedroom with full en suite bath, and a 6th BR/Office space with French doors, and a Bonus room that could be a Gym/Den/Play Room/Craft Room/7th BR (has plenty of space for an armoire). Outside, the beautifully landscaped and extra deep lot shows just how special this space is. The backyard offers plenty of space for relaxing, and gatherings on the 22' walk-out, low-maintenance composite deck (complete with gas hook-up and electricity), and truly feels more like an extension of the living space. The yard is big enough for a swing set, for kids and pets to play, or a space for those who love to entertain and garden. A stamped-concrete walkway leads to a detached two-car garage that is fully insulated, outfitted with custom storage solutions, and finished with French doors that open to the garden, and double as an additional entertaining space. The grounds are landscaped with a variety of flowering trees and plants ensuring beautiful blooms year-round. Located moments from the Metra, CTA Brown Line, Lawrence Buses, Mariano's, LA Fitness, Chase Park, and the beloved shops and dining of Lincoln Square and Andersonville, this home offers the perfect balance of neighborhood charm and urban convenience. Excellent proximity to premier schools including Lycee Francais de Chicago, Sacred Heart, Waldorf, German International, Chicago Montessori, and McPherson Elementary. This tight-knit block of Hermitage has its own group chats, social media pages, and hosts an annual summer block party (all of which participation is completely optional). Homes of this caliber are seldom available. This is a residence built to last, to be lived in, and to be loved. Experience one of Chicago's most desirable north-side addresses - where craftsmanship, character and community meet.
