1851 N Orchard St., Chicago, IL 60614

Combining the sophistication of an Orchard Street address with the natural beauty of an Aspen chalet, you feel connected to nature everywhere you look in this home. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, every surface in the home is natural - from the three-story wall of hand cut stone to quartzite counters and wide planked floating oak stairs. There is a seamless quality between inside and out - with generous terrace space off the kitchen and primary suite but the biggest wow is the beautifully landscaped patio on the first level. The limestone fireplace is the centerpiece of the patio surrounded by mature River Birch, a wall of climbing hydrangea, clematis and lilac bushes. The second level brings together a spectacular Chef's kitchen with 6 burner Wolf Range, an 8'x9' quartzite island, double ovens and abundant pantry space. There is even a laundry shoot for linens! High ceilings lend themselves to the feeling of an urban lodge complete with beamed ceilings and a stunning antler chandelier in the adjacent dining room. Private quarters are found on the third level including the primary suite boasting a morning kitchen with fridge and sink and a spectacular terrace with skyline view. The primary bath has a separate soaking tub, steam shower and dual vanity. Of the two additional bedrooms, one is currently being used as a home office. And last, but not least, a climate-controlled attic is accessible from stairs that descend at the touch of a button. You will never worry about a flooded basement with storage on the top of the house. This is a unique, stunning house in Lincoln Elementary.
