Step inside this timeless 19th-century Chicago row home, reimagined with today’s contemporary comforts and luxurious finishes. Nestled on one of East Lincoln Park’s most picturesque and peaceful blocks, this stately residence offers the perfect blend of historical detail and modern updates throughout its three levels of living space.
From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this home is special. A welcoming front garden and intricately carved original double doors set the tone for what lies inside. Rich historic details include original millwork, plus additional standout features including the carved wood staircase, mosaic foyer tiles, and sun-soaked bay windows. Understated elegance exudes from the double parlor living space with its decorative fireplace with marble surround and intricate mantel, perfect for entertaining or cozy nights in. You cannot miss the abundant sunshine streaming from the large front windows, overlooking the bright trees and architecture of Burling Street all day long.
The formal dining room is incredibly spacious and easily accommodates a 10-person table, and is perfectly situated adjacent to the kitchen. Effortlessly flow into the elegant white kitchen, which boasts plentiful Brookhaven cabinetry, stone countertops and modern apliances. The open kitchen layout gives way to the oversized family room, complete with custom built-ins and another gas fireplace. You will also find easy access to the first deck, which is the perfect place for grilling, along with access to the stunning garage roof deck complete with pergola and gorgeous planters with built-in irrigation. There is no better setting for a morning coffee. A total of five outdoor spaces are featured throughout this sprawling home including a rooftop deck with incredible skyline views.
Upstairs, comfort and flexibility reign. The second level features three well-sized bedrooms, two full baths, and a convenient laundry room. A second primary suite or guest suite is the perfect use for the bedroom that also offers an ensuite bathroom.
Ascend to the top level, where the primary suite spans the entire floor. Flooded with light from four sets of floor-to-ceiling French doors, this serene sanctuary includes a private balcony, dual vanities, soaking tub, large shower, and a separate water closet. But the true showstoppers are the two enormous custom closets, including one formerly used as a home office, now transformed into a custom designed luxury dressing room complete with a wet bar and private deck access.
The fully finished lower level offers even more flexibility, currently serving as a recreation and fitness space. With its own kitchen, full bath, additional laundry, and private entry, it is perfect for guests or as an in-law suite.
