1443 W Catalpa Avenue Chicago, IL 60640

This 3-bed, 3.5-bath 1913 workman's cottage sits on a picturesque one-way street in Andersonville's Lakewood Balmoral neighborhood. Fully refreshed inside and out, this property has been lovingly polished highlighting its vintage charm. The curb appeal is undeniable. A custom native plant garden was installed in spring 2024. The front steps were widened and rebuilt with TimberTech tops, and newly installed flower boxes at the facade add a pop of color that can be enjoyed from the inside as well as out. The new ceramic tile mudroom entry leads to the foyer. A brand new skylight allows light to flood the charming original staircase. New crown molding and cased openings run throughout the main level, with all walls releveled and painted. The living room features custom cabinetry, gas fireplace, and an adjustable lowering tv mount ready for movie nights. The dining room is a definite showstopper as well, with William Morris wallpaper, new wainscoting, and the home's original built-in hutch. The kitchen has a new island, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large walk-in pantry with its own countertop and ample storage. A 'keeping room' couples with the kitchen with access to the cedar deck and fully fenced backyard, where new antimicrobial, free-draining pet grass has been installed. A powder room completes the main level. Upstairs there is a large primary suite with private deck, massive walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom. A bright second bedroom-including a Tonal home gym-and a full main bath complete the floor. New crown throughout the second level as well. The lower level has a guest suite with a full bath featuring a clawfoot tub, plus laundry, and exterior access to the backyard. Dual-zoned HVAC. Two-car detached garage. Walk to Clark Street, Bryn Mawr Historic District, the CTA, and the lake. Seller is an IL Licensed Agent.
