Once a working bakery built in 1880, this unique East Lincoln Park home blends historic charm with contemporary design, retaining original details such as exposed brick from the bakery ovens and exterior hooks once used for tying horses. Sitting on a coveted corner lot with abundant natural light, this one-of-a-kind 5-bedroom, 4.1-bathroom residence offers over 5,000 sq. ft. of living space beautifully designed by the renowned Laurie Miller of Miller/Anderson, LTD. The home is flooded with east, south, and west light from oversized windows. Enjoy multiple outdoor spaces, including a backyard, and three decks. The bright and spacious living room features high ceilings and an abundance of storage. Overlooking the living space and connecting to the kitchen is a floating dining room with room for an 8-person table. The kitchen features a large island with seating for four, custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and top-tier appliances (Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele), with a powder room conveniently nearby. From the kitchen, the adjacent family room opens to the deck and yard. Architectural highlights include custom glass railings, adding a sleek, modern touch. The second level features the primary suite alongside two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. The primary suite offers two walk-in closets, custom built-ins, and a spa-like bath with heated floors, Dornbracht & Duravit fixtures, a floating tub, and abundant natural light. The second and third bedrooms comfortably fit queen-sized beds and offer generous closet space. A standout feature is the top-floor suite, once a separate unit-ideal for a home office, in-law arrangement, or Airbnb. This space is truly full of sunlight and includes an updated kitchen, full bathroom with a double vanity, elegant flooring, intricate molding, and a beautifully designed staircase. The lower level includes a fourth bedroom, a 2020-renovated spa bath with a two-person infrared sauna, a full stone slab shower, a gym, a spacious laundry room with a dog bath, and ample storage. Located kiddy-corner from Bauler Park, this home is moments from the Armitage Corridor, Lincoln Park Zoo, the lakefront, and Old Town's restaurants and shops. A new two-car garage, built in 2021, is wired for electric vehicles. This is a rare opportunity to own a character-rich yet highly livable home in one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods.
