807 W Castlewood Terrace

Description

Lovingly maintained by the original owners, this all-brick home hits the market for the first time since construction in 1990! Situated on a nearly double (43' wide) lot, this custom built home is one of 7 designed by Edward Raap & Associates and now can be yours. Fun fact: 3 of the 7 are owned by the original owners! Situated in one of Uptown's most exclusive enclaves, Castlewood Terrace. Enjoy the storied architecture, tree-lined street, and large lot size the historic homes here enjoy--without the "old house quirks" and maintenance! Filled with natural light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the open concept living/dining areas have hardwood flooring throughout, and are nicely square rooms that offer perfect spaces for large-scale entertaining, or a cozy night at home. The living room features a gas fireplace and juliet balconies to enjoy lakefront breezes. The dining area has an impressive two story ceiling with a recessed nook for a sideboard table or hutch. The sunny south-facing kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops, an eat-in area, and has access to a private balcony with newer Trex decking for a grill and outdoor seating. The main level is rounded out with a powder room (this was the only house of the original 7 that had one on this level)! Upstairs the primary suite is perfectly appointed with a walk-in closet, a large bath with double vanity and walk-in shower, and a bedroom suite big enough for a king sized bed and sitting area. The two remaining bedrooms are generously sized and can accommodate beds of any size, and work well for guests suites, home offices, or both. The true star of the show though is the roofdeck. This house has the largest roof deck that could be built on the block, and has gorgeous views of the park, as well as water (both hot and cold) and electricity. On the lower level is a 4th bedroom with access to a full bath, entry foyer, and an attached two car garage. Many mechanicals have been replaced, please ask for list! Walking distance to the beaches along Lake Michigan, the Lakefront Trail, and one mile north of the Montrose Bird Sanctuary. Buttercup Park is at the end of Castlewood Terrace, just north of the cul-de-sac. Enjoy all the nightlife and entertainment Uptown has to offer, including concerts at the Riviera Theatre and Aragon Ballroom. Some of the best dining is within 2-4 blocks, including several restaurants in the Asia on Argyle corridor, Tweet, Dib, and Kai-Gol-Lanee. Commuting downtown is simple: 146 (Gunnison & Marine, 1 block away) & 147 (Foster & Marine, 3 blocks away and runs express to Michigan Avenue) express buses, the Lawrence Red Line stop, or easy access to Lake Shore Drive!
