4152 N Greenview Ave, Chicago, IL 60613

Architectural and completely customized, 4152 N. Greenview Ave. is a 6,400-square-foot 6 bed/5.5 bath single-family hidden gem in Chicago's historic Graceland West neighborhood with a 165'-deep lot for front-and-back green spaces. To turn a vintage Victorian into a flawlessly modern home with an expansive footprint and first-class finishes, Raino Ogden Architects and ML Design (the winner of "Top Design," Season One) was tapped for a gut remodel and expansion with a bold exterior statement: a fabulous 12' x 12' front deck with a glass railing that overlooks the home's 46' x 39' front yard - the perfect spot for soaking up the morning sun with a cup of coffee! Entirely open concept for spectacular sightlines and natural light, the main level begins with an entry hall with a floor-to-ceiling walnut wall with hidden doors to the power room and coat closet, followed by a large living room with 10.5'-high ceilings, gallery walls and wide-plank floors. The living room links to a light and bright dining room with two walls of windows and an immaculate chef's kitchen with high-gloss white cabinetry, stone countertops, a massive island that extends to include a wooden breakfast table with seating for eight, a suite of professional appliances including a panel-front fridge/freezer, and an oversize walk-in pantry with a built-in desk and storage. Adjacent to the kitchen lives a luxe family room with a low-profile fireplace that connects to a 12' x 18' covered terrace with lounge and dining spaces, and a 46' x 52' back patio/yard with a tree swing, a second lounge (perfect for a fire table), and slatted privacy walls. The second level presents three secondary bedrooms that share two full baths, a design-forward children's study with a fireman's pole, and an incredible primary suite. The primary footprint includes a private office with two built-in workstations and a skylight, a light-filled bedroom with floating bookshelves and a sloped ceiling that soars up to 24', a private 18' x 4' balcony with a spiral staircase that leads down to the back patio, a custom dressing room, and a floor-to-ceiling marble ensuite bath with a dual vanity, a makeup station, a minimalist walk-in shower, and a standalone soaking tub beside the window to enjoy the lush tree views that make you forget you're living in a city. The top level features a large rec room with a peaked roof, large windows and skylights, another full bath, another spacious bedroom with a walk-in closet and skylights that's ideal for an au pair or extended-stay guests, a hidden playroom, and attic storage. But there's more... This home's lower level reveals a family room with a wet bar, a gaming space, a 750-bottle wine cellar, a fitness room with a wood-like wallcovering, another full bath with steam shower (dual entry from fitness room or hallway), a craft room, and the home's sixth bedroom (currently staged as a music room). Additional callout details include a custom mudroom, upstairs and lower-level laundry rooms, embedded speakers and LED lighting throughout, professional land- and hardscaping by Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects (think mature Aspen trees that line the front walkway and backyard patio and commercial grade high-quality turf), an in-ground sprinkler system, front-and-back exterior lighting, and a detached two-car garage with a sliding barn door that doubles as a summer entertaining space and boasts a reinforced sports bounce-back well. Steps from multiple parks, all the conveniences of the Southport Corridor, and proximity to the lakefront, 4152 N. Greenview Ave. is a modern masterpiece, an entertainer's dream, and a fantastic home for everyday living. (Bonus quality of life amenities include walking, running, biking or rollerblading in historic Graceland Cemetery and access to the playground and track/sports field at Lakeview High School.)
