Property Description
As one of Old Town's decidedly contemporary residences, 1852 North Sedgwick commands attention. Architecturally significant and winner of the esteemed ALA design award, this home was custom crafted, and custom built by a developer as his own residence, designed to accommodate the rare front-drive city lot. Its enterprising use of vertical space and natural elements maximizes the natural light throughout, every level provides a private retreat of space. Architect Richard Blender may not have expected the level to which the home would attract attention, including features in Chicago Home and Garden, Crain's Chicago Business and Home & Architectural Trends.
The multi-tiered floor plan flows like a cascading waterfall from the entrance of the home to the rear living room and outdoor patio. Warm Brazilian cherry flooring mirrors the 14ft ceiling of the main level, contrasting with the modern stainless steel accents and cool 16'x16' porcelain tile in the kitchen. Rooms are not divided by conventional door frames, rather they're indicated by subtle risers, soft curtains and defining partitions. Wide, exposed stairwells draw the eye up to bedrooms and skylights above. And a movable glass wall opens from the kitchen to the front balcony, looking out to a neighborhood park across the street.
On the opposite end of the house a spiral staircase leads down to Zen-like gardens. Blender carved layered cement steps out of the backyard space, balancing the stone's severity with sprouts of green growth and a trickling water fountain. A lower level studio walks out to the courtyard, which enjoys lovely afternoon sunlight despite its deep-set position. The home's other outdoor retreat is a top-floor deck, designed as an extension of the master suite. A picture window atop the spa tub affords views of the exterior terrace and a fireplace warms the suite on chilly nights. Descend one story and a glass atrium brightens the third-floor landing, giving way to two guest bedrooms. Undeniably, every square inch of the residence was carefully conceived to expand available space and utilize natural aspects of the house's urban environment. -
