About this home
Once in a lifetime opportunity to own a true urban oasis with majestic renovated greystone on 104'x126' vast city compound with charming coach house overlooking picturesque garden in the desirable Bucktown neighborhood. This breathtaking dwelling was meticulously restored to celebrate the original fretwork, cove moldings, oval leaded glass windows, ceiling medallions, oak fireplaces w/antique mantels, original tiles, & oak mirror in entryway. The modern steel & glass additions of jaw dropping solarium off side of home, the glass rear staircase (fabricated by company that made the famous "Bean" in Millennium Park), & sleek chef's kitchen are a masterclass in juxtaposition to intricate original details showcasing the history of this 1896 abode which was brought into the 21st century. Greeted by a stately exterior w/relief carvings & gas lamps, a gracious foyer welcomes you into sunny double parlor living room w/original pocket doors separating formal dining room which boasts a double sided original hutch w/curved beveled glass & custom chandelier by artist Lucy Slivinski made from a tree on property. Legitimate chef's kitchen w/commercial grade appliances, unique natural stone countertops, pizza oven, room for large table, & fresh produce from the property's variety of fruit trees, vegetable garden, & delicious honey from the bee hives on rare urban rooftop garden. The heart of the home is the extraordinary glass atrium solarium off of the kitchen which transports you from an urban environment to being immersed in nature with indoor koi pond and remarkable backdrop of blooming scenic landscaping. The staircase up to 2nd level features wood paneled art gallery to hang your favorites with picture molding. Original fretwork meticulously restored and repositioned on this level to find awe-inspiring 19th century craftsmanship at every turn. Beautiful 2nd floor family room with original display shelving cabinet to anchor the room.
