Defining features include an enormous multi-story bay window that fills the loft-like living space with brilliant natural light. Generous ceiling heights, grandly proportioned rooms, gallery-style lighting, maple floors, and a large garden all lend themselves to this oasis of calm within Chicago’s urban landscape.

This home is centrally located in one of the city’s most desirable residential neighborhoods. The lakefront, Michigan Avenue, designer shopping, eclectic dining, and world-class cultural institutions are all nearby.

The front portion of the home’s main level was completely gutted and redesigned by the award-winning firm Brininstool + Lynch.

Beyond the home’s natural slate foyer, the home’s dining room is designed for intimate entertaining and easily accommodates a large round table and looks out over the front yard.

The kitchen features custom maple cabinets, thick granite counters including an expansive breakfast bar, and top-quality appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Viking gas cooktop with grill and griddle, and Miele exhaust hood, double ovens, and dishwasher.

The cozy family room is enhanced by a fireplace, built-ins and maple floors. Sliding doors provide direct access to the backyard.

On the second floor, unusually high ceilings are enhanced by the 2-story bay window, creating a connection to the trees outside. The focal point of the living room is a large wood burning fireplace with an illuminated art niche above.

The second bedroom includes built-in bookcases and another fireplace. The adjoining bath is finished in marble.

The top level of the home was designed as a luxurious master suite. The front stairs lead to a bright, east-facing study with a fireplace, built-in bookcases, and an atrium overlooking the living room.

The master bedroom is located at the rear of this level. Features include plantation shutters, Lightology sconces, and a private deck overlooking the backyard. Amenities include two full baths and three walk-in closets. Laundry is conveniently located on this level as well.

The home includes a brick 1½-car garage with a studio apartment above. The apartment has a small kitchen, a Murphy bed, a full bath and its own utilities. It is ideal for live-in help, as a home office, or as a source of additional revenue.
