A rare private oasis in the heart of Andersonville, this extraordinary residence offers a level of resort-style living seldom found in Chicago. The expansive, beautifully landscaped backyard creates a secluded luxury retreat in the city, complete with a heated pool, spa, generous outdoor entertaining space, and a separate guest house for hosting friends or housing an au pair-an exceptional setting designed for stylish city living, along with a two-car garage. Originally constructed in 1896, the home has been completely transformed into a remarkable single-family residence through a comprehensive studs-out reconstruction. The home was entirely gutted and rebuilt with extraordinary attention to detail, including all new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, creating the comfort and performance of a newly constructed luxury home while preserving its historic architectural character. The exterior has been beautifully restored and reimagined with a newly constructed greystone facade, creating timeless Chicago architectural elegance and striking curb appeal. Thoughtfully designed with an uncompromising commitment to quality, the interior showcases exceptional craftsmanship, refined materials, and best-in-class systems throughout. Double-pane windows provide excellent insulation while contributing to a remarkably peaceful interior environment. The chef's kitchen stands as a true culinary showpiece, appointed with a Miele steam oven, built-in Miele espresso system with warming drawer, Wolf convection oven and integrated gas cooktop, and fully integrated Gaggenau refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher concealed behind custom European cabinetry. A dramatic 15-foot Silverwave island anchors the space and creates an extraordinary centerpiece for gathering and entertaining. A custom appliance garage keeps everyday appliances elegantly concealed while preserving the kitchen's clean architectural lines. Throughout the home, hand-cut solid oak herringbone floors installed by European artisans reflect exceptional craftsmanship and are complemented by RH solid brass lighting fixtures throughout the home. A custom hand-bent hardwood staircase illuminated by a striking brass chandelier creates a dramatic architectural focal point, while elegant Silverwave stone details add refinement throughout the residence. The primary suite offers a serene spa-inspired retreat and includes heated stone counters, heated floors, a steam room with essential-oil infusion, a chromotherapy soaking tub, and a Japanese-style smart toilet with integrated bidet. A bespoke European-designed large closet with brass finishes completes the suite. Two additional guest bedrooms with Juliette balconies overlook the garden and pool. The guest bath showcases leathered Italian stone, custom built-ins, and an upstairs laundry for everyday convenience. The lower level offers an exceptional setting for entertaining, with a spacious home theater and a fully equipped bartender's bar complete with built-in beverage drawers, wine refrigerator, commercial ice maker, dishwasher, and a dedicated service laundry designed for bar and entertaining needs. A dramatic steel-and-glass wall opens to a secure workspace wired with dual Ethernet to a Ubiquiti network. A private guest suite with a full ensuite bath completes the level. At the rear of the property is a newly constructed one-bedroom, one-bath guest house with a full kitchen and washer/dryer. The guest house can also operate as a turnkey income-producing residence. The two-car garage includes a 220-volt EV charger.
