About This Home
SOLD BEFORE PRINT. Prime-corner, classic Chicago-brick home built in 1886 is situated perfectly in Old Town and combines historic exterior charm with a respectfully updated interior design. Conversion of this former two-flat into a single-family home was completed in 2017 and features three bedrooms & two full and one-half bathrooms. An open-concept main level offers high ceilings, vintage moldings, modern kitchen and white painted wood floors. Formal living room offers original plaster moldings while a large dining room opens into a custom kitchen with honed Carrera marble and Soapstone countertops and high-end appliances (Sub-Zero, Fisher-Pykel, Bosch, Kohler). Library/Den continues in the back of the home with access to the back porch and shared courtyard. Third bedroom currently being used as office/workout space and powder room with vintage vanity complete this level. White, painted wood floors continue onto the second floor. This level features a spacious laundry/utility room with ample storage and two large en-suite bedrooms with gorgeous custom bathrooms (wall-hung Duravit toilets in all bathrooms with Sensowash in primary bath) and walk-in closets. This home offers a sophisticated and truly unique living opportunity unlike anything in the neighborhood. It is within close proximity to the lakefront, Lincoln Park, Green City market, Wells Street restaurants and bars. Downtown is easily accessible by multiple forms of public transportation and Lincoln Park public & private schools are all within walking distance. This home is a true gem!
