2442 W Morse Ave, Chicago, IL 60645

Architecturally unique 1928 Tudor Revival solid brick home on double lot with side driveway, porte-cochere (carport), and professionally-designed front and back landscaping. This property has been extensively and thoughtfully renovated over the years while retaining its vintage charm and details. A restored facade, antique paver walkway, stone-accented front doorway, and foyer with mosaic floor and porthole window welcome you into the home. The sunken living room features extra-tall ceilings, newer French windows/doors, brass sconces, and cast stone mantel with high-efficiency Mendota gas fireplace insert. Through the living room French door you'll step out onto the front terrace, enclosed in privacy by mature boxwoods and a towering beech tree. The dining room with curved bay of windows flows into the updated kitchen with Marron Cohiba granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and walk-in pantry. A powder room with original tile floor, sunroom, and enclosed back porch complete the first floor. On the second floor are three generously sized bedrooms with wall mouldings and California closet organization systems. Upstairs also features a magnificent period bathroom with original details, including plaster columns, tiled walls/floor, and reglazed bathtub, and a recently gut-renovated shower stall with matching reproduction tile from Heritage Tile in Wisconsin. Throughout both floors you'll enjoy vintage features, such as period/reproduction light fixtures, arched doorways, crown mouldings, and subtly textured walls, and modern conveniences, such as Unico/SpacePak air conditioning and top-of-the-line Anderson aluminum clad wood windows (see list of improvements for more). A full, unfinished basement includes laundry, tons of storage, and potential for additional living space. The expansive, fully fenced backyard features an in-ground sprinkler system (front and back yards), dog run with concrete planter, natural gas grill, large flagstone paver patio, mature landscaping with raspberry bramble and Honeycrisp apple tree, and a curved brick walkway leading to the two-car brick garage. This special home is nestled within the Rogers Park Manor Bungalow Historic District, a truly beautiful neighborhood and one of the city's best-kept secrets. Just one block to Indian Boundary Park and Cultural Center, with wood play structure, water play area, lagoon, tennis courts, Nature Play Center, and historic fieldhouse hosting park district classes (art, dance, yoga, etc) and year-round cultural events (Civic Orchestra of Chicago concerts, annual Do-It-Yourself Nutcracker, etc). Also, close to the recently constructed Northtown library branch and nearby Warren Park. Pleasant one mile walk to Rogers Park Metra station for commuting. Broker owned.
