About this home
On one of Lincoln Park's most coveted blocks, 1811 N Howe Street is a home that reveals itself in layers - each level, each room, each outdoor space more unexpected than the last. At nearly 5,900 square feet across three levels, this French Provincial limestone and brick residence is defined by a singular architectural vision: a soaring interior atrium with 30-foot ceilings and a south-facing glass block wall that floods the home with extraordinary natural light from the Brazilian cherry hardwood floors below to the high ceiling above. It is a home that manages to feel both grand and luminous, dramatic and deeply livable. The main level is designed for the full range of daily and celebratory life. A separate formal dining room - appointed with one of five antique fireplace mantels, each averaging over $20,000 - opens to a generously proportioned living room, also with a fireplace. The kitchen is equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range and oven, Bosch dishwasher, granite countertops, and Perenti custom cabinetry. A spacious family room anchors the rear of the main level. A powder room and two-car detached garage complete this level. The home's outdoor space features a spectacular private in-ground swimming pool surrounded by an expansive patio - a coveted rarity in Chicago - plus a courtyard entry at the front. The second level is devoted to private living. The primary suite features a gas fireplace, a spa-caliber bath with whirlpool tub, steam shower, granite double vanity, and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share this level, each served by refined ensuite baths, joined by a dedicated sauna, second-floor laundry, and a large private terrace. The third level adds a fourth bedroom, a full bath, a substantial den that serves equally as a fifth bedroom or creative space, and access via an outdoor walkway to a rooftop terrace above the garage with open sky above. A further upper terrace crowns the home. Six gas fireplaces in all - five with antique mantels - are distributed across every principal level, giving each room its own warmth and character. Three-zone HVAC (2016) and a newer hot water tank (2020) ensure mechanical reliability throughout. Interior design by Marty Lescht. Sprinkler system and landscape lighting. HOB (Howe/Orchard/Burling) neighborhood has an active and supportive association, including 24/7 security monitoring. Steps from Lincoln Park, the lakefront path, the farmers' market, and the best dining, shopping, and cultural life Chicago has to offer - in one of the city's most treasured neighborhoods....
