A large Georgian with four bedrooms and three baths in a coveted parkside location in North Park is now on the market for $399,900.
The all-brick house at 5935 N. Central Park Ave. is across from the 24-acre Peterson Park, and features unobstructed park views. There are only five residential blocks that face the park site, which is part of the 155-acre North Park Village.
The 2,040-square-foot home has a huge eat-in kitchen that opens to a massive family room, which has sliding doors that lead out to the east-facing outdoor deck.
The living room is combined with the dining room, making an extra large space. The home features a full first-floor bathroom plus a laundry room. There's an additional laundry and storage room as well.
The master suite has spacious closets, a walk-out deck and a gorgeous master bath.
"The most impressive thing about this house, in addition to its size — a brick two-story addition is pretty rare — is its location,” says Carmen Rodriguez, the property’s listing agent with Coldwell Banker.
"One little thing about this house that is unusual, too, is that there’s a wall-safe built in ... an item that seems to have been preserved from the original construction. The combination is provided with the sale."
The park includes public tennis courts, jogging/walking paths, softball and soccer fields, multiple playgrounds, picnic tables and open recreation space. The home is 10 minutes from a CTA Brown Line stop, 90/94, and the Metra. It's also a quick walk to the neighborhood’s shops and restaurants.
