Description
Unicorn alert! This rare, beautifully renovated Victorian in the heart of Lincoln Park seamlessly blends historic craftsmanship with contemporary elegance, offering a truly one-of-a-kind living experience. With 4 bedrooms and 3 levels of living space above grade, this home is truly a rare find. No detail was overlooked in this full gut renovation, preserving stunning original features like stained glass windows, vintage banisters, and intricate tile work while introducing modern comforts. The main level offers the perfect balance between an open, flowing layout and defined spaces, featuring custom built-ins, a fireplace, 6" engineered white oak floors, soaring 11 foot ceilings, and a powder room. The beautifully updated chef's kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, including a commercial Viking range, and a spacious waterfall-edge peninsula that overlooks the large dining area. A convenient butler's pantry adds extra storage and functionality. The second floor offers 2 oversized bedrooms, an office, and a gorgeous bath with a Restoration Hardware vanity, soaking tub, and designer finishes. The top level is home to a serene primary retreat with a wall of windows flooding the space with natural light, plus another spacious bedroom with a full ensuite bath. The luxurious primary bath features designer finishes and a skylight. The lower level provides the perfect media retreat or play area, along with a newer side-by-side washer/dryer and additional storage. Outside, enjoy a peaceful side yard, a newer deck, and a detached garage equipped with EV charger- all surrounded by beautiful fruit trees, including a weeping plum in the front and apple trees in the back. Additional updates include custom closets in the bedrooms and basement, window coverings in the bedrooms and office, and newer HVAC, water heater, and sump pump. There's simply too much to list! All of this, nestled in one of Chicago's most coveted neighborhoods, just steps from top dining, shopping, cultural landmarks, and public transportation. Must see!
