Property Description

Welcome to 837 W. Junior Terrace - an elegant, historically rich single-family residence that artfully marries timeless character with refined modern conveniences for today's discerning buyer. Located in the residential historic district of Buena Park, one of Chicago's coveted lakefront neighborhoods, this 5-bedroom home is graciously set on an oversized (40'x125') lot. This fully renovated and designer-decorated home showcases grand-scaled rooms, tall ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and custom millwork throughout. A charming bluestone walkway and stairs guide you to the spacious front porch - an inviting retreat for morning coffee. Walk-in to the oversized entry foyer adorned with designer wallpaper and statement lighting that opens to the gracious front living room with large picture window. The dedicated dining area sits in front of the gas fireplace beautifully accented by a traditional marble mantel. The sun-drenched kitchen is a cook's dream offering an open, airy feel with vaulted shiplap ceilings and a centerpiece island creating the perfect eat-in-kitchen gathering space. This high-end kitchen features in-lay custom cabinets, premium appliances, including a Wolf six-burner range and Sub-Zero refrigerator, that are beautifully paired with an Ann Sacks tile backsplash and marble counters. The farmhouse sink is perfectly positioned beneath a large picture window overlooking the rear yard and garden. The kitchen walks out to a professionally landscaped urban retreat - a 40' x 25' backyard (2020), complete with bluestone patio, firepit and lush plantings. Adjacent to the kitchen, the spacious great room creates a seamless flow for both everyday living and easy entertaining while also offering flexibility as a large formal dining room. The entire third level is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite retreat with a private deck, dressing room, and spa-caliber marble bath with double vanities, luxurious soaking tub, and separate shower with rainshower, handheld, and body sprays. The second level offers three additional bedrooms, laundry and a separate study/office. The stylish office showcases custom built-ins set between charming bay windows, creating a warm and inviting, light-filled retreat. The gut renovated marble bath features a dual-sink vanity and walk-in shower. Designed for modern living, this home features a fully integrated smart infrastructure including whole-home audio (Heos/Denon) with hardwired speakers, central A/V hub, surround sound, and a hardwired security system with cameras and alarm. A new hardwired fire alarm system (2025) with 10-year backup adds peace of mind. Additional highlights include two laundry areas, designer blinds/plantation shutters and draperies throughout, updated mechanicals including dual furnaces and a newly installed French drain system surrounding the entire basement. The lower level features a large recreation space and tons of storage. Parking for two includes a 1.5-car garage and an additional parking pad, conveniently accessible from the front driveway. This impeccably maintained home delivers exceptional quality, thoughtful designer upgrades, and refined living throughout. Enjoy close proximity to the lakefront walking and biking paths, Montrose Beach, Wrigley Field and Lake Shore Drive, with an easy commute to some of Chicago's most sought-after schools.
