About This Home
As of June 2025Perfectly positioned on an oversized 32x125 lot on prime, tree-lined street in the heart of Lincoln Park, this beautifully renovated brick home offers an exquisite blend of original architectural details and modern luxury. Meticulously reimagined in 2020 and spanning over 5,000 sf, this home seamlessly transitions from comfortable everyday living to grand entertaining. An elegant foyer opens to a sequence of beautifully scaled rooms on the main level featuring restored plaster moldings (2020) and original pocket shutters, exuding sophistication and warmth throughout. The tastefully appointed living room is anchored by an original marble wood-burning fireplace and oversized windows; the dining room showcases the exceptional width of the home with an after-dinner cocktail nook that looks out onto the tree-filled side yard. A sophisticated bar moment, complete with a dual-zone Sub-Zero wine fridge, leads to the reimagined and gut-renovated open kitchen/family room. Outfitted with natural quartzite countertops, top-tier appliances (Sub-Zero, Wolf, etc.) and curated fixtures from Waterworks and Circa, the chef's kitchen is both functional and exquisitely designed. The family room lined with custom built-ins and south-facing windows leading directly to a spectacular roof deck with access to the terrace below and features a bluestone patio, garden retaining walls, custom ironwork and sport court - a spectacular, multi-functional urban oasis! The 2nd level offers 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths and a superb office (or 4th bedroom). The serene primary suite enjoys south-facing windows, California Closets walk-in, laundry and a spa-inspired bath with radiant heat floors, custom vanity, Waterworks fixtures, rain shower and private water closet. The 3rd floor adds tremendous versatility with a large guest suite, gym (or 6th bedroom), 1.5 baths and skylit art/play studio. The finished lower level with generous ceiling heights (over 9'), radiant heat floors and wonderful natural light offers a huge rec room, full bath, laundry room and garden sunroom that opens to the beautiful terrace - ideal for outdoor entertaining! Additional highlights include a solid masonry 2-car garage, snow-melt system extending to the alley, fully re-engineered 4-zone HVAC system, whole-house sprinkler system, whole-house water filtration system, new flat roof (2019), 8-zone irrigation system, integrated security system and more. An incredibly special, refined and rare home on an oversized lot in the heart of Lincoln Park just steps from everything - Oz Park, shops, restaurants and more - this home is not to be missed!
