Property Description

There is something particularly compelling about a home that respects its history while embracing the way we live today. This expansive vintage residence does exactly that. From the moment you enter, the home reveals an uncommon combination of scale, character and thoughtful design. The gracious living room is defined by a dramatic bowed ceiling, distinctive vintage woodwork and rich, dark-stained hardwood floors-architectural details that give the residence a sense of permanence and personality that simply cannot be replicated in new construction. At the center of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen designed as much for gathering as it is for everyday living. Crisp white Shaker cabinetry is paired with Carrara marble countertops, stainless-steel appliances and a substantial island. A walk-in pantry provides exceptional storage, while a dedicated wine bar with refrigerator creates an elegant space for entertaining. Just beyond the kitchen, a charming a large second dining area, adding yet another layer of flexibility to the home's generous layout. It is the kind of detail that makes this residence feel designed for living rather than simply renovated. The living room fireplace has been beautifully updated with classic white subway tile, while a second decorative fireplace in the rear of the home adds another unexpected architectural element and reinforces the residence's vintage character. The floor plan continues to surprise, with two generous bedrooms, two beautifully renovated baths and a versatile den/rear room. The 2nd Bedroom includes a Murphy bed, creating an ideal solution for visiting guests, a home office or a flexible retreat without sacrificing everyday living space. Italian porcelain tile and subway tile bring a timeless, refined quality to the bathrooms, while an in-unit washer and dryer (2nd bath location) provide the convenience expected in a modern home. And then there is the rare luxury of parking, with an assigned outdoor space included in the price. The location is equally compelling. Just one block from the Lake Michigan lakefront path, the home offers effortless access to miles of walking, running and biking along the water. Shops, restaurants, nightlife, transportation and major highways are all close at hand, giving you the best of Chicago's urban energy while keeping the lakefront within moments of your front door. What makes this home memorable is not any one feature, but the way everything comes together: original architectural character, sophisticated updates, generous living space, thoughtful entertaining areas, unexpected flexibility and an enviable location. Vintage Chicago character. Modern sophistication. A floor plan full of surprises. And the lakefront just one block away. This is a home with personality-beautifully reimagined for the way you want to live today.
