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 dining and family room opens to a 9' x 9' deck for outdoor dining and entertaining, with an intimate, low-maintenance backyard beyond. 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. School boundaries, enrollment, and admissions should be independently verified with CPS or the applicable private school.
