Welcome to 2124 N Cleveland Avenue, an awe-inspiring Victorian masterpiece nestled in the coveted heart of Lincoln Park, situated on an oversized lot in Chicago's premier neighborhood. Just steps from Oz Park this exceptional 6-bedroom, 4.2-bathroom estate beautifully marries historic grandeur with sophisticated modern luxury. From the moment you step inside, you're in a world of timeless elegance, with original stained-glass windows, meticulously restored pocket doors, ornate crown molding, and soaring 12-foot ceilings, all contributing to the home's unparalleled charm. The grand foyer sets the tone, with double doors, a striking curved staircase, and an arched entryway leading to a light-filled, stately living room. The family room, anchored by a cozy log-burning fireplace and custom-built shelving, invites both comfort and conversation, while gleaming oak hardwood floors stretch throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream-boasting top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, abundant storage, and a spacious dine-in area with a bespoke banquette. Complete with a built-in sound system, this culinary haven seamlessly connects to the adjacent sitting rooms, making it the ultimate setting for entertaining. On the second level, the primary suite offers a serene retreat, while two additional bedrooms and a dedicated office or study complete the floor plan. The third level is equally impressive, with three more generously sized bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bath, another office, a family room, and additional conveniently located laundry room on the top-- this area could easily be turned into separate living quarters with ensuite bathroom and back staircase entrance. The expansive lower level is the epitome of functionality and comfort, featuring a media room, mudroom with direct back yard entrance located close to the garage, a large laundry/utility room, extra storage, bathroom, and a bonus room for whatever your heart desires. Step outside to the enchanting deck and patio area, where a charming pergola and ample seating create a perfect outdoor oasis for relaxation or hosting gatherings. The detached two-car garage with coach house potential offers additional space for convenience and versatility. Don't miss your chance to make this architectural gem your own! 2023 taxes were reduced in mid 2024 to $63,812.38.
