The Story
4138 North Paulina Street
Built by Mangan Builders on an oversized 25-by-165-foot lot, 4138 N. Paulina is an exceptional all-brick and limestone residence set along one of Ravenswood's most picturesque tree-lined streets. Completed in 2014, this thoughtfully designed home offers six bedrooms, four full baths, and 14 rooms across four beautifully finished levels. Hardwood floors, soaring cathedral ceilings, skylights, custom millwork, and built-ins bring warmth and character throughout. The main level balances comfortable everyday living with effortless entertaining, featuring a spacious family room with a wood burning fireplace, a separate living room with a gas fireplace, a formal dining room, and a private office. At the heart of the home is a Jean Stouffer-designed kitchen equipped with Sub-Zero refrigeration and wine storage, a Wolf double oven and range, a Bosch dishwasher, a built-in Miele coffee maker, marble countertops, a walk-in pantry, craft closets, kitchen banquette, and a generous 17-foot eat-in area. An adjoining wet bar with wine storage connects the kitchen and family room, creating an ideal flow for gatherings and entertainment. Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a private balcony, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a steam shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and heated marble floors. Three additional bedrooms include a spacious, light-filled front bedroom with beautiful tree-top views, providing a lovely setting to wake up to each morning. A dedicated laundry room with dual washer and dryer sets completes the second floor. The finished lower level offers radiant-heated hardwood floors, a 22-by-17-foot recreation room, a playroom, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a second laundry room. Three distinct outdoor spaces include a welcoming front porch, a private rear patio, and a truly unique rooftop basketball court with an outdoor fireplace above the two-car garage. Ideally located near the CTA Brown Line, the Southport Corridor, neighborhood parks, dining, shopping, (the best public and private schools around) and everything Ravenswood has to offer.
