Property Description

Thoughtfully reimagined in Lincoln Square, this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence spans approximately 4,000 square feet across four finished levels. Fully renovated by an experienced luxury development team known for quality construction, the home has the finish and function of new construction while retaining select original character. Nearly 10' ceilings, white oak floors, substantial millwork, custom built-ins, solid-core doors, designer lighting, and a beautifully restored original 1900 fireplace carry throughout. The kitchen is anchored by an oversized 5' x 8' island, with natural-tone cabinetry, quartz surfaces, marble tile, Thermador/Wolf appliances, and built-in breakfast seating. Adjoining living and dining spaces open directly to a deck and private, low-maintenance backyard. Two primary suites offer a rare degree of flexibility: one on the second level with a spa-inspired bath and oversized shower, and a private top-floor suite with space for a sitting area, office, or gym. The finished lower level includes a recreation room with custom built-ins, wet bar and wine cooler, fifth bedroom, full bath, second laundry area, and storage. Dual high-efficiency HVAC, spray-foam insulation, 200-amp service, integrated security and media wiring, and a detached two-car garage prepped for EV charging complete the home. Directly across from Lycee Francais and moments from the Damen Brown Line, with neighborhood cafes, restaurants, parks, the farmers market, and the best of Lincoln Square all close by.

Explore Ravenswood

Filled with gigantic trees, spacious lawns, and old renovated homes, the Ravenswood neighborhood is a lovely place to get away from hectic city life, while remaining in the middle of a thriving community that has it all. One of Ravenswood's (or Lincoln Square's, depending on who you ask) crowning glories is the Old Town School of Folk Music. It originated in Old Town, but the performance venue (which has hosted the likes of Joni Mitchell) was moved up to Ravenswood in recent years and continues to produce great folk shows. A slew of Ravenswood cafés and taverns also welcome live music and the occasional comedy act, in addition to supplying the bulk of neighborhood nightlife. On the dining front, a long list of excellent restaurants has made a blip on Chicago's culinary radar. Romantic French bistros, trendy sushi bars, unforgettable Italian pasterias, and satisfying American diners cover any mood or craving with style and masterfully prepared meals.
