Real Estate Agent Chicago Reviews

"Jovanka is a real-estate warrior. She ease-fully helped sell my condo at the end of 2022 (i.e., during a very unpredictable time in the market). And not only did she sell it during a strange historical moment: her thoughtful approach - namely, converting my one-bedroom to a two-bedroom with little effort - resulted in a sale price that far exceeded my expectations. Jovanka also assisted with millions of little things. I was not readily available to go to my property on a daily basis, but Jovanka was always there to let in handymen, talk to contractors, and hassle my HOA. I highly recommend Jovanka for your next real estate journey! “      ~ Regina C. | Home Seller in Lincoln Park, Chicago

1121 N Elmwood Ave Drone Tour

Exclusively listed by best Real Estate Agent in Lincoln Park, Jovanka Novakovic at Compass, Lincoln Park, Chicago. Call 312.961.4478 for details. Welcome home to 1121 N. Elmwood Avenue in highly sought after Northwest Oak Park! This 1930 brick Tudor style single family home sits in the middle of a picturesque, beautifully landscaped neighborhood. Step inside where modern amenities meet vintage luxury from the curved entryway to the sun filled living room with built-in shelving, plus an original wood burning fireplace with a stunning oak leaf carved mantle. Move across the original oak hardwood floors and discover this home's great flow. A formal side dining room leads you into an open concept gourmet kitchen, featuring white cabinetry with contrasting black pulls, black granite counters and dark stainless-steel appliances. An eat-in banquet island provides the perfect backdrop for entertaining and daily life. Extending from the kitchen is a spacious family room flooded with natural light from full wall sliding doors leading to a wraparound deck with pergola, perfectly framing the lush greenery in the backyard and adding effortless outdoor entertaining space! Rounding out the main level is a full bath with a walk-in shower and pantry. A winding staircase invites you to the second level where three spacious bedrooms await, each with abundant organized closet space. The luxurious spa-like bath with marble tile heated floors, vintage clawfoot soaking tub and walk-in waterfall shower await your enjoyment after a long day. Then head up one more flight to the attic level which is partially finished and insulated, offering additional room for a large home office or the extra living space of your dreams. But just wait until you get to the lower level! This newly renovated multifunctional space adds even more family recreation, with an expansive media room pre-wired for surround sound for enjoying all your favorite movies and games. A large 4th guest bedroom sits off to the side and doubles as the perfect space for a quiet home office. Turn the corner and you'll find a full 3rd bathroom with a walk-in shower and decorative granite flooring. Centering it all is your entertainment headquarters... a wet bar with a beer/wine fridge complete with a custom natural edge bar top from the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Rounding out the lower level is a laundry room, cold storage room and even a Peloton nook! But the backyard is the real icing on the cake. Just head out onto the lawn and keep looking up... The back of this home features three levels of outdoor living with a large wraparound lower deck for grilling, dining and entertaining, a spacious private upper balcony for reading, relaxing and napping, and a high terrace with sweeping rooftop views of this scenic Oak Park neighborhood. Having trouble deciding where to relax? Good luck, because there's also a private screened in front porch that is almost like having another living room, only outside! And if that weren't enough to enjoy this home's great Oak Park vibes, there's the "backyards" - a unique open concept fenceless backyard that extends across 5 homes creating an expansive play space with ample room to roam and mingle with friendly neighbors. This home is complete with a 2-car brick garage plus a concrete parking pad for a 3rd car with easy access to the city via 290 and Metra, proximity to schools, parks, and downtown Oak Park with its restaurants, movie theater, fabulous farmer's market and shopping. With SO MANY RENOVATIONS and improvements, please see additional documents for a complete list. Don't miss this opportunity to make lifelong memories in this timeless treasure and live the Oak Park lifestyle! #jovankarealtor #oakpark #oakparkrealestate #dronetour #chicagorealestate #realestateagent
