The one you've been waiting for has finally arrived. This one-of-a-kind 1886 East Lincoln Park row-home with coach house was masterfully renovated, restored, and expanded in 2014 with exceptional attention to detail. The timeless renovation prioritized preservation of the home's original character while elevating the space with elegant new finishes. The all-brick exterior immediately captures attention with professional landscaping complete with irrigation and uplighting, a bluestone walkway and patio, and beautifully preserved architectural details including limestone accents, black-framed windows, and a stunning original cornice. The home spans three levels, with the main entertaining floor on the second level, the primary suite and bedrooms on the third, and a fully above-grade first floor. Enter the main floor through the double set of perfectly restored front doors and you are immediately greeted by soaring ceilings, herringbone oak floors, ornate plaster moldings, and a beautifully restored staircase. The main level features a warm and inviting formal living room with large windows overlooking the front parkway, impressive 13-foot ceilings, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround. Separated by a handcrafted, original wooden archway with pocket doors, the home flows into a versatile family room featuring custom built-in cabinetry designed for both storage and functionality, along with a second marble fireplace. At the heart of the home is the chef-inspired kitchen, highlighted by south-facing windows that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen features a built-in banquette dining area, custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, a custom range hood, a walk-in pantry, and access to the rear deck that is perfect for grilling with a staircase that leads to the backyard patio. The third floor is anchored by a dramatic oversized skylight that fills the center of the home with natural light throughout the day. At the front of the home sits the primary suite, which is a true showstopper, featuring elegant archways, custom millwork, a gas fireplace, large windows, electric window treatments, and a spacious walk-in closet with additional custom built-in storage. The primary en-suite bathroom includes an additional skylight, a double vanity, and a large walk-in shower. This level is completed by two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom featuring a soaking tub, subway tile, and double vanity. The first floor of the home offers a separate tiled entryway for added convenience. This level includes a dry bar with double beverage coolers, hardwood floors, a versatile home office or additional bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace and custom-built closet, a full bathroom, a spacious walk-in laundry room with abundant storage, a mudroom, and a large secondary living area that opens to the outdoor entertaining space. The bluestone patio backyard is an ideal setting for entertaining, offering privacy from mature trees while still allowing excellent natural light and well-maintained gardening beds. Completing the property is a coach house situated above a heated two-car garage. The charming coach house features a full kitchen, an updated bathroom, and a murphy bed with shelving on either side, making it perfect for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Situated perfectly in East Lincoln Park, just steps from the lakefront, beach, Lincoln Park Zoo, Oz Park, and Lincoln Park, with easy access to the boutiques along Halsted and some of the neighborhood's best restaurants. This home is truly one of one.
