About This Home
As of March 2026Experience unparalleled luxury in this impeccably renovated Lincoln Square home, perfectly situated on an extra-wide almost 30' lot just steps from the lovely Winnemac Park. Masterfully reimagined, this exceptional home marries the timeless elegance of a classic Chicago bungalow with the sophistication and modern conveniences demanded by today's most discerning homeowners. A rare side-entry design sets the tone for the home's thoughtful and distinctive layout. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece-featuring custom cabinetry, premium quartz countertops, a refined backsplash, high-end appliances, and curated lighting that elevates every detail. The sizeable adjoining family room opens to a covered outdoor deck, extending your living space and providing an effortless setting for year-round entertaining. A sun-drenched living room-wrapped in north, east, and west exposures-offers an additional space for dining, hosting, and relaxation, complete with a sophisticated built-in bar. The second level is a sanctuary unto itself, offering four expansive bedrooms and three luxuriously appointed baths, along with second-floor laundry. The primary suite is a private retreat, boasting an oversized walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath featuring elegant finishes. The lower level delivers versatility with radiant-heat, an additional family room, recreation space, a fifth bedroom, fourth full bath, and a second laundry room. Outdoor living reaches new heights with multiple curated spaces-including the covered rear deck, a built-in fireplace set within the yard, and a full-size roof deck atop the oversized two-car garage. Unmatched in both design and location, this home sits mere steps from Winnemac Park and within walking distance to Chappell Elementary, Amundsen High School, the Ravenswood Metra, Brown Line, and all the acclaimed dining, boutiques, and culture of Lincoln Square.
