Welcome home to a rarely available all-brick, fee simple (no HOA) row home, tucked on a quiet, tree-lined block in Lakeview, just steps from the Irving Park Brown Line, the Ravenswood Metra, and the neighborhood’s best breweries, distilleries, restaurants and entertainment. With over $100K in thoughtful renovations, the home has been transformed: the large kitchen was opened to the living room to create a bright, open concept main level anchored by quartz countertops, a four-seat breakfast bar, and an electric fireplace-a setup equally suited to quiet evenings or entertaining. A front patio of composite decking extends the living space outdoors for even more. Multi-level living offers guests use of a full bath half a floor up, while the bedrooms share their own private level, complemented by an additional dual-vanity bath.

The lower level provides a separate laundry room and even more storage space. Belle Plaine dead ends into Ravenswood, making street parking consistently available, and putting Begyle & Dovetail breweries, Koval Distillery, and tons of coffee shops, restaurants and galleries all within reach.
