About this home

BEST AND FINAL DUE BY 8PM SUNDAY 3/29. Vintage character and modern convenience come together seamlessly at 1636 Bell, a remarkable 1876 Italianate Victorian brick home that stands as a testament to Bucktown's rich architectural and cultural history. Built during Chicago's post-fire expansion, the residence showcases enduring craftsmanship, including its ornate cornice by James A. Miller of Knisely & Miller, reflecting the elegance and intention of the era. Thoughtfully reimagined in 2008 and further in 2013, the home honors its history while embracing modern living. Original elements such as the stately double-door entry, sweeping staircase, and gracefully connected living spaces have been preserved, maintaining the home's timeless flow and character. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers hardwood floors throughout, elegant crown molding atop high ceilings, a sprawling private yard, fully updated bathrooms, and second floor laundry. The large unfinished basement has exceptional potential. It hosts the mechanicals, exposed metal beams, updated water, electric and plumbing. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen, blends design with high-end functionality, featuring full wood cabinets, a Moroccan trellis design backsplash, Sub Zero refrigerator, Lacanche range, Asko dishwasher, granite countertops, and extensive custom built-ins, perfect for elevated daily living and effortless entertaining. 1636 Bell delivers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chicago history, thoughtfully updated for today. Bell is steps away from all Bucktown and Wicker Park restaurants stores and parks. Pulaski is the grade school. 2024 property tax with homeowners exemption $19,285.24...
