**A Landmark Reimagined ** *Italianate Residence, Circa 1878 - Portions Predating the Great Chicago Fire* Set within Lincoln Park's Mid-North Historic District - a Chicago Landmark district since 1977, known for its exceptional continuity of scale and craftsmanship - this residence is a rare study in architectural preservation. In 2017, it received the **Chicago Landmark Preservation Excellence Award**, recognition of a restoration led by Foster Dale Architects. Built in the 1880s, with portions predating the Great Chicago Fire, the home was once threatened with demolition. Its exterior has since been meticulously restored: a full-width front porch rebuilt from historical evidence, arched-top windows returned to their original configuration, and original cedar wood clapboard siding uncovered beneath decades of aluminum cladding and carefully repaired. Inside, **4,500 square feet** of living space offers an entirely different experience - open, light-filled, and designed for modern life. The home was reconverted from a two-flat to a single-family residence with a rear addition. Five bedrooms and three and a half baths are arranged across thoughtfully composed levels, including a writing studio with its own deck, a lower-level music room, bar and a walkout basement opening onto a private backyard. A rooftop deck off the primary suite adds a quiet retreat above the treetops. Sustainable systems bring modern comfort into the historic frame, including geothermal heating and cooling, high-performance insulation and air sealing, and salvaged materials incorporated throughout the build. A short walk from Lincoln Park public and private schools, some of the best restaurants in the city, excellent local groceries, Oz Park, the Zoo or the beach. A landmark home, honored for its preservation, and reimagined for the way you live today.
