Property Description
A lot of people shop for a home. Some people shop for a childhood they want their kids to have. You're killing me, Smalls. You remember it. I don't have to say the movie. The Ham will tell you Hamlin Park was named after his family and goes back to before the Mayflower. Mr. Mertle will tell you it's one of the most slept-on neighborhoods in the city, dismissed by an east-of-Damen mindset that misses just how good life is here. He'll say it while having groceries delivered, even though Jewel and Costco are down the street. Smalls moves into 3140 N. Leavitt and meets the neighborhood boys. Quickly, they become a crew. Pedals push mag wheels on Schwinns and GTs as they head to the fieldhouse. Benny racks weights at the fitness center. Kenny sneaks into one of the two gyms to watch the girls' dance class through the glass. Squints pulls off the move he's been planning all summer, kissing the lifeguard Wendy Peffercorn in front of everyone as she performs mouth-to-mouth pool side. They play catch at Legends Field until the sun says go home. Yeah-Yeah runs a game of HORSE on the basketball court between games. Every Wednesday and Saturday, when fireworks crack downtown, they lay out on the grass. Capri Suns punched. Uncrustables and Lunchables trade both ways. All night debates on whether Snack Packs or S'mores rule more. Stories from summer camp get traded under the stars, and eventually someone brings out the Ernie Banks ball and everyone pretends they're being careful. Winter just moves it inside. Pickup games. Open gyms. Burning off energy in the fieldhouse when it's too cold to sit still. That's Hamlin Park. It gives kids their own world and gives parents the confidence that comes from knowing exactly where everyone is. And the house? It's waiting. The photos and video will show you plenty, but this is the kind of home that earns its reputation quietly. Andersen black-on-black windows set the tone. Spray foam insulation wraps the foundation, creating a home that feels solid, quiet, and efficient in every season. The kitchen anchors the space with Sub-Zero and Wolf, two-tone cabinetry, and stone that brings real warmth instead of showroom shine. White oak hardwood floors run throughout. Eight-foot solid-core doors close with weight, not noise. Five-zone heating includes radiant heat where it matters most, the mudroom, the lower level, and the primary bath. The primary suite is calm and properly scaled, with separate vanities, steam, and a private water closet. Laundry lives where life happens, on both the bedroom level and the lower level, with two machines already in place. The garage opens through a party door and leads up to a pavered rooftop deck that provides invaluable overflow. There's a gas line outside for grilling with maintenance-free hardscape. Hamlin Park, Roscoe Village, and West Lakeview turn this location into a triple play, neighborhood, lifestyle, longevity, with the fieldhouse stealing it as a home run. "This is real estate. You need to stop thinking. Have fun." - Benny. If you want this one, don't wait until someone else's kid is riding their bike to the fieldhouse.
