An extraordinary and unparalleled residence of architectural significance, situated in an exceptional location adjacent to two city parks on a highly sought-after block in East Lincoln Park. The recently modernized, custom-built 8,700sf property was designed by award-winning architect Dirk Lohan, grandson and understudy of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. His creation harmoniously blends contemporary style and materials with the residential character of the neighborhood. The home's main floor is unique with an entrance at ground level, opening to soaring ceilings and an expansive foyer featuring travertine marble. The main living space is at once elegant and intimate, accommodating indoor-outdoor living, with two sets of sliding glass doors off the living room and family room/kitchen. The dining room features white paneled walls, cabinets and doors connecting the living room. The brand new white kitchen with spacious pantry has a fabulous wet bar area. Dekton counters and backsplash. The best of Gaggenau and Miele appliances. All give direct access to the patio for al fresco dining. The 2nd floor of the home features the first of two great rooms, dividing the floor between the primary suite and two jack and jill bedrooms with a shared bathroom and laundry room with new washer(2) and new dryer (2). The personal oasis in the primary suite features an expansive walk-in closet with a dressing room, luxurious bathroom with elevated carrera marble vanities, heated floors, towel warmer, whirlpool tub and separate steam shower. The 3rd level consists of a 2nd great room, separating a complete Au-pair suite from a gracious office with wood burning fireplace and custom built-ins, alongside a gym with great lighting, and a new closet with a linen cupboard and safe. The upper level features a wet bar and an enormous 1100sf. roof deck with Trex Transcend decking.
