Overview

Set on one of Lakeview's most picturesque blocks, this elegant graystone was gut-renovated by one of Chicago's leading modernist architects as his personal residence. The result is a masterfully designed, gently lived-in home offering a highly functional floor plan, sophisticated contemporary finishes, and a refined sense of style. The main level is designed for both entertaining and everyday living, with expansive walls and gallery lighting ideal for displaying artwork. The open-concept kitchen was created as a true working space, featuring stainless steel and marble countertops, dual sinks, high-gloss lacquered cabinetry, premium appliances, and a custom oversized island. The kitchen opens seamlessly to a stunning rear terrace with a louvered retractable roof, infrared heaters, irrigated planters, stacked stone privacy walls, a built-in grill, wall-mounted television, and a natural gas fire pit-creating an inviting, all-season outdoor living space. Upstairs are four bedrooms with custom closets, including a spacious primary suite, two full baths, an office, and a secondary laundry center. The lower level includes a large recreation room, a den/guest suite with full bath, a well-appointed laundry room, and a bonus space currently used as a workshop. This architecturally significant home makes a striking first impression with its limestone facade, black slate turret, and landscaped front garden. The full renovation included new mechanicals, plumbing, and electrical systems throughout. Additional features include limestone and hardwood floors on the main and upper levels, two fireplaces, sleek modern baths, dual laundry centers, solid-core doors, architectural lighting, Lutron Pico motorized blinds, zoned HVAC with central humidification, landscape lighting, and a 2-car garage. Ideally located with easy access to East Lakeview and the Southport Corridor dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences, this home is also just a block from Weisman Park and Playground.
