Rarely available and truly one-of-a-kind, this historically significant jumbo bungalow sits proudly on a large corner lot in one of Chicago's most exciting, fast-rising neighborhoods-Arcadia Terrace. Perfectly positioned just north of Lincoln Square and west of Edgewater / Andersonville, you're only a ten-minute drive from both I-94 and Lake Shore Drive, and just a mile from the new Peterson Metra station. Designed by renowned Chicago bungalow architect Andrew E. Norman and built in 1925, this home offers an incredible amount of space and character. It features 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms-plus an additional bedroom in the lower level. While much of the home's original craftsmanship has been beautifully preserved, key updates have already been taken care of, including a new boiler (2024), water heater (2017), and roof (2018). Prepare to be wowed the moment you step inside. Original mahogany millwork runs throughout-rich trim, crown molding, wainscoting, solid doors, and gleaming hardwood floors-all in remarkable condition. This is the project you've been waiting for: the chance to thoughtfully update and restore a true architectural gem, build instant equity, and create your dream home in a rapidly appreciating neighborhood. The main level opens with a spacious family room featuring a decorative fireplace with a custom mahogany mantle and original stained-glass windows. The formal dining room is a gorgeous throwback to early-20th-century craftsmanship, highlighted by mahogany crown molding, wainscoting, and French glass doors that lead to a sun-soaked bonus drawing room. The oversized kitchen awaits your ideas and offers endless possibilities-room for a large island, generous cabinetry, and a separate eating area. Three large bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms complete the first floor. No need to dormer the second level-it already boasts three huge bedrooms and a full bathroom. The enormous lower level is packed with potential. Finish it to create additional bedrooms, a family room, game room, fitness area, extra bath-whatever your lifestyle needs. The possibilities are endless. Location is another standout. You're just three blocks from the 21-acre West Ridge Nature Park, complete with walking trails and a serene pond. Walk to the Chicago Blues Theater, Starbucks, Savanna Restaurant, Rosewood Tavern and numerous other neighborhood restaurants; or take a short drive to the best of Lincoln Square and Andersonville. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring a historic masterpiece back to brilliance. Homes like this rarely come along.
