Overview

Lincoln Square sets the stage for this fully renovated 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath single-family home offering approximately 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. This exceptional residence pairs sophisticated modern finishes with original character, including a beautifully restored fireplace dating back to 1900. Approximately 10-foot ceilings on the first and second floors, white oak hardwood flooring, custom millwork, seven-inch baseboards, solid-core doors, designer lighting, and custom built-ins create warmth and character throughout. The kitchen features natural-tone shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a marble-tile backsplash, Thermador appliances, and an oversized 5' x 8' island. A charming breakfast area with built-in seating sits just off the kitchen and is destined to become the heart of the home.

The upper-level bonus room provides flexible space for a primary bedroom, private office, home gym, or a combination of uses. The primary bath includes custom cabinetry, two vanities with quartz countertops, and a large frameless-glass shower with a rain shower, handheld fixture, and spa jets. Laundry is available on both the second and lower levels. The finished lower level includes a recreation room with built-ins, wet bar with wine cooler, full bath with shower, and an additional bedroom. Additional features include dual high-efficiency HVAC systems, a 75-gallon high-efficiency water heater, spray-foam insulation, 200-amp electrical service, interior drain tile, sump and ejector pumps, Nest thermostats, surround sound, integrated security cameras, extensive media wiring, and a detached two-car garage prepped for an EV charger. Enjoy everything that makes Lincoln Square one of Chicago's most distinctive neighborhoods, including beautiful tree-lined streets, locally owned shops and restaurants, neighborhood cafes, Winnemac and Welles Parks, the Old Town School of Folk Music, Davis Theater, seasonal farmers markets, and year-round community events. The Damen Brown Line station is just steps away, offering convenient access throughout the city. The neighborhood CPS schools are McPherson Elementary School, serving Pre-K through eighth grade, and Amundsen High School. The home is also located directly across from Lycee Francais de Chicago and convenient to CPS selective-enrollment options, including Coonley and Bell Regional Gifted Centers, Lane Tech College Prep, and Northside College Prep.
