About this home
Welcome to 1252 W Carmen Avenue, a beautifully renovated Greystone situated on an oversized lot on a quiet, tree-lined street in Andersonville, offering convenient access to the shops, dining, and cultural destinations of Andersonville and Broadway. Sitting on a rare 40' x 150' lot with no alley behind it, the spacious backyard is truly a peaceful oasis in the city providing a unique, private setting in Andersonville. This tranquil reprise is ideal for slow mornings enjoying a cup of coffee, cultivating your favorite vegetables in your raised-bed garden, or fun evenings spent with family and friends. Originally renovated in 2018, this spacious home delivers a perfect blend of architectural charm, modern updates, and flexible living space across three thoughtfully designed levels. A professionally landscaped front yard welcomes you into a gracious foyer and a flowing main level featuring a formal living room with a gas fireplace, an expansive dining area, and a high-end kitchen with commercial-grade stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a large island. Just off the kitchen, an oversized family room opens onto a large back deck overlooking a serene, landscaped yard with perennial praire flowers and raised vegetable garden boxes. A powder room and laundry room complete the first floor. Upstairs, the second level offers four generously sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The south-facing primary suite includes a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. The additional bedrooms feature ample natural light and storage, with a second laundry hookup in the hallway. The lower level, completed in 2022, has been fully finished to include a separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit with a private entrance. The lower level boasts outstanding natural light and is complete with a full, spacious kitchen, heated bathroom floor, and dedicated laundry. Enjoy the serene private outdoor space that overlooks the perennial garden. This flexible space is ideal for a variety of living arrangements, offering options for guest accommodations, multi-generational living, additional household support, or as additional income. Be a part of the thriving Winona Foster Carmen Winnemac (WFCW) Block Club community when you call 1252 W Carmen Ave home.
