Meticulously Renovated 3 Bed, 4 Bath Single-Family Home in the Heart of Pilsen Welcome to 1940 S Racine, a fully transformed single-family home where historic Chicago charm meets thoughtful modern design. Situated in the vibrant Pilsen neighborhood and just minutes from The 78, Chicago's newest riverfront development and future home of the Chicago Fire's training facility, this home offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and convenience. This 3 bedroom, 4 full bathroom home underwent a complete renovation between 2014 and 2015, fully permitted and inspected by the City of Chicago. Major updates include all-new plumbing, electrical, dual-zone HVAC, windows, siding, gutters, and a new concrete basement floor with drain tile system. The original two-flat was thoughtfully deconverted into a spacious single-family layout featuring custom-built staircases with reclaimed wood treads and solid wood interior doors, including a beautifully restored vintage front door. Inside, high ceilings and freshly painted walls create an open and inviting feel. The kitchen is outfitted with modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a wine cooler, and in-home laundry with washers and dryers included. Light fixtures, including vintage selections, add distinctive charm throughout. Unique design touches inspired by global travels, including a custom bath suite, bring personality and warmth to the space. The home also includes a custom-built dog shower, ideal for pet care or rinsing off after working in the yard. The fenced backyard offers low-maintenance patio pavers, a young willow tree, and a fire pit ring, creating a private outdoor retreat in the city. The location offers exceptional access to parks and recreation. Just one block away is Dvorak Park with an outdoor pool, sports courts, playground, and more. A local museum, renowned local dining, music venues like Thalia Hall, and Pilsen's celebrated art scene are all nearby. CTA bus and train stops, major expressways, and downtown are accessible, connecting you quickly to the West Loop, South Loop, Chinatown, and beyond. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive and fully renovated home in one of Chicago's most exciting and evolving neighborhoods.
