Ideally situated on a beautiful, tree-lined street in East Lincoln Park and steps from Old Town, this stately, all brick and limestone home exudes elegance, sophistication, timeless style, fine craftsmanship, and a thoughtful floor plan. Enter the home through a covered landing and into the welcoming marble tiled entry foyer. The gracious living room features floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lushly landscaped front garden and a fireplace with marble and custom millwork surround. The dining room, with a classic coffered ceiling, is the perfect setting for an intimate dinner or seating for 12. The professional grade kitchen features custom crafted cabinetry with beautifully detailed molding from cabinet top to the ceiling, a working island with sink and a peninsula with seating for 6, both with elegant marble countertops in white with subtle veining and Viking appliances, including a 48" wide refrigerator, 6-burner plus grill/griddle range with exterior vented hood, Miele coffee station, and Bosch dishwasher. The family room just off the kitchen offers a second fireplace with marble surround and custom millwork. Walk from the family room directly to the rear Trex deck with a built-in outdoor Viking grill then up to the pergola covered terrace over the garage, featuring custom privacy screens, extensive perennial landscaping with irrigation, lighting, and outdoor speakers. The second level features a generous primary suite overlooking the treetops, with dual walk-in-closets, thoughtfully designed primary bath with double marble vanities, walk-in steam shower, a jetted tub, water closet, and heated floors. This floor is also home to two spacious en-suite bedrooms and one of two large laundry rooms. The top floor offers a gracious and light filled library that opens to a lovely terrace, with comfy seating and a fire pit. A full bath is adjacent to the library. Also on the top floor are two bedrooms (one used as an office) connected to the en-suite bath and another terrace at the front of the home. The lower level is a film/sports fan dream, with 12' ceiling height, a projector TV and drop down movie screen, radiant heated floors, a workout room that can double as a play area, the 6th en-suite bedroom, loads of storage and the second laundry room. The home offers a solid brick extra wide 2.5 car, heated garage with two charging stations. Just steps from architecturally significant Old Town and a short walk to cafes, restaurants, and boutique shopping on Wells Street and Armitage Ave, and a short stroll to the park, lakefront, beach, and the famed Lincoln Park Zoo.
