About this home
Nearly fifty years, one owner. In a city where most move on within a decade, that is the first thing worth knowing. The second is why. It begins with the building. In 1914, a developer put up a Tudor Revival on Buena Ave and did things that would make no sense to a spreadsheet today: carved half timbered gables into the roofline, set a limestone shield above the entry, ran herringbone brick banding across the sill course, then opened the interior with a marble foyer under an Arts and Crafts pendant. A luxury rental escape from the city, competing with the Prairie School mansions on Hutchinson one block north.The intimate six unit, self managed building converted to condominiums in 1978 and kept what mattered: scale, at 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and over 1,750 square feet, and detail, starting with the vaulted dining ceiling. The living room gathers around an emerald glazed tile firebox, gas burning, set between bookcases that run the full width of the wall. Green tile chosen in 1978, and now the most requested color in design. Original oak floors in rare condition, in a room that once held a grand piano without crowding it. Off it, the sun room. Windows on three sides, the Buena Avenue tree canopy in every one. The owners called it the conversation room. It is staged as a dining room and works as easily as an office or a sitting room. That is the point. The dining room sits under the vault, plaster arcing above a period hutch that spans the wall, cast brass pulls and butterfly hinges still turning. The owners used it exactly as drawn, through decades of holidays. A buyer today gets an option they never needed: a room that size makes a remarkable family room. Two gathering rooms plus the sun room, arranged however you live. The kitchen was rebuilt in 2018. White shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, subway tile, stainless appliances, a five burner gas range, and a built-in desk workstation. The rear door opens to a private covered deck under a craftsman lantern. Three bedrooms sit off the hall. The primary is beside a bath in Ming green marble with a glass shower, bench and rain head, the original crystal knob still on the door. The rear bedroom has its own full bath, making it a guest suite rather than a spare room. Free laundry in the basement, and able to put into the unit. Extra storage down in the basement. The quiet does not come from the windows. It comes from Buena Park, a four by four block micro neighborhood with much of it on the National Register. Then the lake, and the number that matters: three houses. That is the distance to the Buena viaduct and the lakefront path, past a butterfly garden and water feature, where eighteen miles of trail run north toward Montrose Beach, the harbor, the dog beach and the bird sanctuary. Dollop Coffee around the corner on Clarendon. North Buena Deli at Broadway, where the Italian sub competes with any in the city. The Bar on Buena three blocks west. The 146 bus a block away, straight downtown. Sheridan Red Line a short walk. Wrigley about a mile south, close enough to hear and far enough to sleep. Nearly fifty years of dinners under that vault, conversations in the sun room, walks to the lake, garden parties out back, bocce tournaments in the basement. A home is never the floor plan. It is the life built inside it, and this one comes with fifty years of proof. The next fifty are unwritten. Come make the memories that fill them. Welcome to the Chicago Lifestyle. A Buena Park story....
