About this home

Turning onto this single block of North Fairfield, you immediately sense a visual change and a hush. Capped at both ends, this street feels like a hidden architectural enclave, a perfectly preserved stretch of classic Chicago jumbo bungalows sitting on rare, wide, deep lots. At 4929 North Fairfield, that sense of sanctuary carries right inside. Much of the original vintage character remains on the main level, where classic architectural details set a warm, welcoming tone. Upstairs, the roof was raised to create a full, sunlit second floor that expands the footprint while filling the home with natural light. Downstairs, an excavated basement creates true living spaces below, ideal for extended recreation or additional entertaining options. Combining grand modern square footage with a massive private yard, this property offers a rare combination of space, character, and room to write your own chapter. A detailed list of improvements and construction will be provided to interested parties.

About

Ravenswood

Ravenswood, located between Uptown and Lincoln Square, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with a leafy streetscape and a rail-lined commercial spine. Much of its texture comes from brick two-flats, courtyard buildings, and converted lofts tucked along the Metra tracks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Ravenswood Metra station area at Lawrence Avenue and Ravenswood Avenue, where breweries, coffee counters, and small studios cluster under the rumble of passing trains. Community pillars include Begyle Brewing, Dovetail Brewery, and the Ravenswood ArtWalk, which opens working studios to the street. Winnemac Park adds open lawns and ballfields, while the Damen Brown Line keeps the grid connected to the rest of the North Side.

RS-3

Residential Single-Unit (Detached House) District

The Zoning Ordinance includes three RS districts - RS3 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
