About This Home

As of April 2024

Turnkey and timeless by design, 1903 N. Howe St. is a statement-making, single-family home with quality construction and a footprint that supports everyday living and effortless entertaining. Located on one of the chicest residential blocks in Lincoln Park, this spectacular 5 bed/4.5 bath, 6,600-square-foot home stuns from the street courtesy of a stately limestone facade, recessed windows, and thoughtful landscaping. A design-build by renowned Metzler Hull Development, the main floor flaunts an exquisite foyer with marble flooring, a formal living room with high ceilings, modern crown molding, and a dramatic stone fireplace, and a dining room with herringbone walnut floors and an elegant chandelier. The main floor also features a striking chef's kitchen with custom oak cabinetry, stone countertops, professional-grade appliances, and a standalone breakfast area with built-in, banquette seating. The family room lives at the back of the house, features a second fireplace, and affords access to a 18' x 16' sunken patio with fountain and a 20' x 19' sundeck with pergola and grilling station that sits above the home's attached, heated, two-car garage. (Garage is accessible from both the main and lower levels of the home, quite a rarity.) Upstairs, the second level presents two secondary bedrooms with large closets, a full bath with two vanities, an upstairs laundry, and a luxe primary suite. The primary bedroom is spacious, receives excellent natural light, and boasts beautiful built-ins, a fireplace, a large walk-in closet, and a lovely ensuite bath with dual vanity, a makeup counter, and a glass-encased steam shower. The top floor features a penthouse solarium with a wet bar, lounge and dining space, a third-floor bedroom with balcony, and access to a 20' x 19' roof deck with skyline views. Plus, this home's lower level features a bonus family/media room with a full bar including an ice maker, a wine fridge, and a beverage fridge, standalone wine storage, a fifth bedroom, a playroom or gym, and abundant storage. Additional details and amenities include custom draperies throughout, a curated collection of designer lighting, custom stair runners, a dumbwaiter, Crestron smart home capabilities, and decorative privacy fencing. With a prime position in Lincoln Park that's close to downtown and the lakefront, not to mention walking distance to Oz Park and world-class dining/shopping along Halstead St. and Armitage Ave., 1903 N. Howe St. is luxury living for the uncompromising homeowner.
