A Country Home in the City

$1,530,000  |  4108 N. Hermitage Ave., Chicago, IL 60613

Renovated to the studs and enlarged in 2002 by renowned Chicago architect Gerald Horn of Holabird and Root, the addition was designed to flow seamlessly from the original 1894 farmhouse. The home reflects the sellers' southern roots with its interior design, warm lighting, finishes and arched doorways. The outside is brought in by the huge windows, unique half-window exterior doors and wide front wrap-around porch as well as a lovely back patio that descends into a gorgeous perennial garden. Beautiful details abound, such as oil-rubbed bronze period light fixtures, coved ceilings, custom-built wood & tile gas fireplace, restored pocket doors, Brazilian cherry floors, and high-end custom cabinetry. No detail has been overlooked! The lower level of the home includes an office/family room with a private entrance plus an ensuite bedroom-- perfect for an au pair or long-term visitors. The pretty, 2-story garage has gas and water lines running to it, so the 2nd level could be converted into whatever you like. There are many ways of living in this house, both inside and out, depending on your needs. The property sits on a HUGE 40X165 LOT and is located on one of the loveliest blocks in Chicago.
