1514 WEST SUNNYSIDE

This historic 1895 brick, single-family home is situated amongst other turn of the century homes on a unique section of Sunnyside Avenue in the vibrant Ravenswood neighborhood.  We are in the process of completing a full renovation to restore the vintage style and modernize this wonderful home.  

The new layout consists of multiple levels of living area including a finished lower level. Updates to the home include a new HVAC unit, new electrical service and distribution system, new plumbing system, new water service, and a basement water mitigation system with sump pump and overhead sewer. 

The first and second floors boast 9-foot ceilings and expansive oversized windows. The main floor showcases a welcoming living room with a built-in gas fireplace and authentic wood pocket doors, a sleek kitchen featuring an island breakfast bar and pantry, a convenient powder room, and a dining area that flows seamlessly onto a generous deck, perfect for entertaining. The redesigned second floor offers a luxurious primary bedroom suite with a private bath and dual closets. Additionally, the second floor includes two more bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a linen closet. The lower level provides a spacious family room with a wet bar, a versatile fourth bedroom or office space, a full bathroom, laundry room, utility room, ample storage, and a separate entrance leading to the backyard.

Many of the exterior architectural brick details have been retained and restored. The stone trim work, tile roof and oculus roof window create an impressive historical façade. The interior has been modernized with a light-filled floor plan, white oak flooring,  quartz counter tops and hand crafted elements that create a refined urban style. An open front porch and large rear deck allows for fantastic indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. New landscaping, a privacy fence, and concrete sidewalks complete the private urban oasis. A new two car garage provides premium parking, additional storage areas, a workshop option and EV charging capability.  

This charming property is nestled in a tranquil residential street on the coveted north side. It boasts an ideal location, just moments away from the vibrant shops and eateries of Ravenswood and Andersonville. Additionally, it is conveniently close to prestigious schools, neighborhood parks, and the iconic Wrigley Field.
