Home Details for 852 W Junior Terrace

Effortlessly charming and beautifully updated, 852 W. Junior Ter. is a 5 bed/4.5bath, approximately 7,000-square-foot single-family Craftsman built in 1910 with gorgeous green spaces and a two-car garage. Located in Buena Park, a residential gem of a neighborhood in Chicago that's lake-adjacent, this home makes a classic statement from the street with its corner position, original ironwork fencing, brick facade, mature trees, lush landscaping, and covered front porch. Inside, the main level begins with a fabulous foyer that flaunts this home's well-preserved woodwork, stained glass, and turn-of-the-century hardware. The foyer links to a light and bright living room with hardwood floors, a big bay window, a wood-burning fireplace, and built-in bookcases - and a delightful sunroom with leaded glass window details. The main level also features a large formal dining room with a coffered ceiling and an enviable chef's kitchen with custom white Shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, professional-grade appliances, an island with counter seating, a built-in banquette and desk, and a walk-in butler's pantry with display shelving, plus an adjacent mudroom that connects to the garage. Upstairs, the second level presents a bright secondary bedroom with treetop views and a walk-in closet, a full hallway bath, a handsome WFH office with more beautiful built-ins, an upstairs laundry room, and the home's spectacular primary suite. Sizable and well-appointed, the primary bedroom features two walk-in closets (one of which is a 10.5' x 19.5' sunroom that was converted into a custom dressing room but could easily be converted back based on preference) and a spa-like ensuite bath with a dual vanity, a soaking tub, and a standalone shower. The top floor features a stylish family room with vaulted ceilings and built-ins that are great for a homework area, another large bedroom with a cozy window seat, a full bath, a second office, and a walk-in storage closet. But there's more... The fully finished basement level comes complete with a spacious rec/media room, a guest bedroom, a gym, a full bath and a kitchenette that make this space perfect for generational living or an au pair. Additional callout details include design-forward light fixtures, custom wallcoverings, original French doors, and an abundance of storage, plus front and side yards, a paver patio and a private driveway. Close to the walking/biking path along the lakefront, Montrose Beach and Lake Shore Drive, and a short commute to some of Chicago's best schools including Lycee Francais and Sacred Heart, 852 W. Junior Ter. is a rare find in the city!
