This is the one you've been waiting for!! Absolutely stunning renovation of a classic Chicago rowhome in a prime East Lincoln Park location! You'll immediately fall in love with the timeless design and elegant detail of this unique home. The home has been restored to perfection without a single detail spared inside or out. The 2 year renovation included a 3 story addition on the back of the home opening onto 3 levels of outdoor living space including a bluestone patio (with French drainage), surrounded by greenery and trees offering the ideal place to spend sunny summer afternoons or quiet evening dinners. The perfect urban oasis! The home boasts 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths in the main house and a coach house in the courtyard ideal for a nanny suite, home gym, office, rental unit or to welcome guests. Enter into the warm and inviting foyer through the large restored double front doors and immediately notice the attention to detail involved throughout this immaculate renovation. The herringbone wood floors, dramatic high ceilings, timeless plaster mouldings, detailed trim work, soaring archways, and pocket doors were either restored or replicated to match the period. On the main level you'll find the formal living room with original pocket doors, a working marble fireplace and large double hung windows overlooking the restored front courtyard and parkway. The sophisticated and classic living room is adorned by rich red walls and custom built-ins which flank the original marble fireplace. Seamlessly transition from the family room to the addition where you are greeted by a kitchen with 13' ceilings, large double hung windows which flood the room with natural light in the late mornings and an eat-in island and built-in banquet. The finishes include high end appliances, custom cabinets and beautiful mouldings and millwork. Enjoy the sun or a view of the professionally landscaped backyard and charming coach house from the kitchen balcony, which is an ideal location for a grill and cafe table. From the second floor, continue up the dramatic and wonderfully restored staircase and you'll be met with endless sunlight that beams through a vintage skylight that was restored and carefully relocated to allow more light into the home. On the third floor you'll find the large master suite with a fireplace (gas and wood burning), restored wooden archway, trim and mouldings. The new master bath (complete with skylight) and custom closet make this the perfect retreat. Down the hall are bedrooms 2 and 3, which are also part of the addition, as well as another designer bathroom with a bathtub and farm style double sink, perfect for children of all ages. The first floor of the home, or lower level, is fully above ground and includes a gorgeous den/office, or 4th bedroom, with custom built-ins, working brick fireplace and customized closet. The laundry room with navy blue built-ins makes doing laundry a little more fun. A huge playroom or family room is also part of the addition and opens to the backyard from a tiled mudroom with two large coat closets for all of your family's storage needs. The charming coach house (which sits above a two car heated garage) is a large open studio with built-in shelves and a hidden murphy bed, kitchen and bathroom. This 1880s rowhome is situated on a highly sought after East Lincoln Park street just blocks from the parks, lake, zoo & Francis W Parker and Lincoln Park schools. Walk to all that Lincoln Park has to offer! You will not want to miss this very special home!!
