An East Lincoln Park Brownstone situated on a quiet street, mere steps away from the lake and park! This luxurious and A.I.A. award-winning home features the ample space you need combined effortlessly with the exquisite finishes you want. Upon entry, the home reveals its architectural ambition with sight lines into all 3 stories of the home. The main level offers a large living area with an original fireplace and beautiful built-ins. The dramatic two-story dining room accommodates large groups, while remaining intimate. The kitchen is exceptional, and the original (1976) grain-matched cabinetry has been painstakingly restored to its original glory, accompanied by an all-new appliance package. Ascend the wide and sweeping spiral stair to the second level which offers a large family room with fireplace plus a bedroom/office. The midcentury full bath has root beer colored circular Italian tile retained from the 1970's renovation and is in absolute perfect condition. A wonderful laundry room is also on this level and is a perfectly situated workspace with generous counter space and storage. The third and top level delivers further architectural innovation with a large circular skylight that sends light down the entire staircase to the first floor. This level features the primary bedroom with its own skylight, an exceptional bath with perfect original Italian tile, an additional bedroom/office and a fully functional room-sized greenhouse, which can winter over your perennials and serve as a solarium or exercise space. The private, fully finished English basement, accessed from the front or rear of the home, offers remarkable flexibility-an au-pair suite, a guest suite, a home office, a playroom-and is immaculate with a mini kitchen, full bath, living room, a bedroom, plus storage space easily adaptable to an additional bedroom. There is a beautifully landscaped pocket garden at the front of the house and the back features a deck and charming brick patio accessible through the kitchen's sliding glass doors, bordered by privacy fencing and an extra wide garage. This home is exceptional in history, concept, execution, and location. It is rare to find a home so close to so many classic and sought-after Chicago amenities-natural splendor and connection, shopping, entertainment, dining, schools and playgrounds, public athletic facilities-and which delivers them with such ease, convenience, and sophistication.
