There is nothing I love more than thoughtfully reimagined historical Chicago landmarks. Welcome to Academy Hall, a 1905 school house thoughtfully converted into nine contemporary homes in 2019.
Unit two is the perfect combination of the original building’s architectural heritage, seamlessly finished with modern design and luxury. A sprawling four bedrooms and three-and-one-half baths, this home boasts soaring 12-foot ceilings, an extra-wide floor plan, and historical details like full exposed brick walls and beams for added texture and character. Feel a true sense of wide open spaces highlighted by European White Oak flooring throughout, and massive windows that allow natural light to stream through in all directions.
The high-end open kitchen is perfectly situated overlooking the living room and dining areas, creating the ideal gathering place for entertaining and everyday living. I especially love the full tile wall, which affords equal parts utility and beauty. Also find professional-grade Thermador appliances, Grohe fixtures, custom Amberleaf cabinetry, and a spectacular 10-foot quartz island. Enjoy the additional storage and prep space the luxurious wet bar offers for entertaining, or while making your morning cup of coffee.
Also on this level is the massive primary suite, which offers five windows, two sizable walk-in closets and the ensuite primary bath with luxurious heated floors, double vanity and a large glass enclosed shower. The wall of exposed brick is the perfect special touch.
The lower level of this home is a true extension with continued European White Oak floors plus nine-foot ceilings. Find three additional bedrooms, all with generous closet space, and two full bathrooms. Another thoughtful design of this home is that all of the bedrooms open to the family room, thoughtfully connecting the spaces and maximizing convenience and flexibility. The expansive family room is large enough to accommodate a multitude of uses. Also find a gorgeous laundry room with stacked washer/dryer, cabinet storage and countertop folding space.
Enjoy a breath of fresh air on the private patio with west facing views, or the shared roof deck with stunning Chicago skyline views. Situated in the heart of Ukrainian Village, this home is just blocks from Mariano's, acclaimed restaurants, and boutique shopping. Experience the best of city living with easy access to all that Ukrainian Village and Wicker Park have to offer. One attached heated garage parking space included.
