344 West Scott Street

One of the defining features of this home is its setting within Old Town Village East - a private, tree-lined horseshoe street that offers guest parking, a rarity in Chicago, and a gated alley where neighbors gather and children play. It is a neighborhood that offers an uncommon sense of community while remaining just minutes from the heart of the city. The home has been thoughtfully renovated with an emphasis on both design and functionality. The first floor was completely reconfigured to improve the original layout, including a remodeled kitchen, relocated powder room, and the addition of a walk-in pantry, creating a more practical and cohesive living space. The main level features custom millwork and wainscoting, while updated lighting, fixtures, switches, outlets, and integrated recessed lighting throughout provide a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Hardwood floors were added to the upstairs bedrooms, and the finished lower level includes two additional bedrooms and a spacious spa-inspired bath, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, or work-from-home needs. Ideally situated within walking distance of Old Town's restaurants and several of Chicago's most respected schools, including Latin, Walter Payton College Prep, Catherine Cook School, and Immaculate Conception/St. Joseph School (ICSJ), this home combines thoughtful renovations with an exceptional neighborhood setting. A private deck and landscaped outdoor space extend the living area outdoors, complemented by a detached two-car garage. Extensive recent capital improvements further enhance the home's appeal (Roof, Gutters, HVAC (2025/2026).
