Opulence, privacy and space merge in this truly incredible custom single family home in the heart of Lakeview. There is simply NOTHING else like it on the luxury home market in Chicago in ANY price bracket...the value and thought put into this residence is simply incomparable. Four fully finished levels of grace and style await you in the highly desirable Southport Corridor, giving you approximately 6,000 square feet of living space in a unique urban oasis. From the moment you pull up, you'll note the home is situated on an oversized corner lot on a gorgeous tree-lined street. The first floor features a massive eat-in kitchen with 60 inch custom white shaker cabinets, newly refinished countertops and island perfect for both casual meals and large-party entertaining. Wolf, Bosch and SubZero appliances are of course here, but the extra wide floor plan also gives fabulous space for separate formal dining and an enormous living room with roaring fireplace. The jaw-dropping two-level private backyard has multiple spaces for relaxation, gardening and play. The immense butler's pantry has a 150 bottle wine storage unit, perfect for hosting large crowds or adding to your private collection. Hardwood floors have just been lovingly refinished, and custom built-ins create space for work and recreation unheard of in any other home available for sale. The bonus room on the main level is larger than some living rooms, and like with all the other rooms on each floor, basks in natural light from multiple directions. Go up the grand staircase past the custom lighting (which are focal points on each floor) and you'll find the main bedroom areas on the 2nd floor. Each of the four bedrooms has tremendous closet space, smartly organized built-in shelving and enough room for multiple large pieces of furniture. The primary bedroom is not only formidable in size, but has a closet so wide and deep that any clothes horse will fall in love. There's even a bonus dressing room for your glam squad & staging area fit for the runway. 2 additional bathrooms on the second level are appointed with the same ultra high end finishes & attention to detail as the primary. One of two laundry room locations is also located on the 2nd floor. Go up one more floor and see a truly unheard of treat--a media room (big enough for a projector TV and oversized couches) as well as a home gym--this area could be the 7th bedroom and a whole additional bathroom as the plumbing is there if so desired. But we aren't done yet--even the lower level has two bedroom suites, complete with full en-suite bathrooms including heated floors, luxuriously appointed...and the entire lower level has brand new wide-plank engineered hardwood floors. Unlike the competition, this level doesn't feel like an afterthought--it's a natural part of the home with tall ceilings, great light and gracious room sizes--there's even a wet bar if you want yet another area of separation to entertain in or create a mood. Whether you are bringing generations together, running a large scale home-based business, or simply wanting to have four complete levels of separation for multiple purposes--nothing else compares. Elan smart home system controls light, temp, sound, video, TVs, alarm & powered window treatments. The two car garage has ample room for large vehicles, already wired for an electric car and a heated driveway--but with the incredible shopping, restaurants and nightlife just steps away (plus the CTA Brown Line to get to the Loop for work & events) you may not use your cars often. Words do not do this home justice--but a personal tour will. Must see to experience and appreciate what you may not even realize can be possible in the city!
