Live on the Chicago River with your own private dock at the end of a cul-de-sac in this 5-bedroom (3 upstairs, 2 basement), 3-bath Ravenswood Manor home, with 2 additional work-from-home spaces. This hundred-year home has undergone the ultimate renovation over the past ten years, with a completely new foundation and basement, new windows and doors, electrical, plumbing, water service line, overhead sewer, ductwork and geothermal system, partially fenced yard, as well as the addition of a spectacular dining area and master suite. Light and airy with windows everywhere, 180 degrees of treehouse and river views, high ceilings (9' in the basement), and hundred-year-old reclaimed wood beams throughout. Experience nature and privacy like you never imagined in Chicago. Legal easement to 135 feet of riverbank with private dock and stairs and the right to develop further. Not in a flood plain, and the river never freezes here, so canoe, kayak, or dock your boat year-round (30-45 minutes to the locks downtown; 30-45 minutes to Wilmette). The balcony, porch, patio and other outdoor spaces only add to the sense of seclusion and peace. Ravenswood Manor is well known for its tight knit community, with several parks and playgrounds, access to the river running/biking/hiking trails, farmers markets, casual restaurants, summer block parties, and the best trick-or-treating in Chicago. Walk to Waters Elementary or Queen of Angels; short bike ride to Lane Tech or DePaul College Prep. 10-15 minute walk to Lincoln Square icons such as Sulzer Library, the Book Cellar, Gene's Sausage Shop, and Old Town School of Music. 10-minute walk to the Rockwell stop on the Brown Line. 10-minute drive to 90/94. The wide street frontage, dead-end cul-de-sac street, turn-around apron, and parking pad make parking easy.
