About this home
Set on an expansive 44-ft-wide lot on the most coveted block of one of Chicago's most prestigious streets, 1853 N Burling is an exceptional custom-built estate. Situated in the heart of Lincoln Park, this architectural tour de force seamlessly combines masterful craftsmanship & refined modern living. Designed for extraordinary living, every element of this home has been carefully curated to reflect enduring quality & timeless elegance. The home's distinguished facade is defined by hand-selected, water-struck custom brick, triple-hung windows, & a grand arched entry crowned by a handcrafted S.A. Baxter decorative doorknob. Upon entering, an elegant foyer & gallery hall unfold, w/generous wall space ideal for showcasing a fine art collection. Designed for effortless living, the home includes a full-service elevator that provides seamless access to all levels. A graciously sized formal living room impresses w/soaring 11-ft ceilings & a gas fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame picturesque tree-lined views, bathing the space in natural light. An adjacent formal dining room provides the perfect setting for both intimate dinners & large-scale entertaining. A jewel box of design, a powder room stuns w/Venetian plaster walls & a custom Macassar ebony vanity topped in glass. At the heart of the home is a Christopher Peacock-designed kitchen, a true statement in luxury and functionality. Outfitted w/marble slab countertops, Wolf, Sub-Zero, Bosch, & Broan appliances, & an oversized breakfast bar, the space is complemented by a fully appointed butler's pantry, featuring a 2nd dishwasher, Wolf warming drawer, Miele coffee station, & steam oven. The adjoining family room centers around a gas fireplace & opens to a light-filled breakfast room framed by French doors. These doors lead to a Saint Andrew's stone terrace with a built-in grill, overlooking the professionally landscaped grounds by J.W. Landscapes, complete w/custom sport court. A sculptural, curved staircase connects the upper levels, crowned by a domed skylight w/custom lens & a Bocci chandelier, casting a soft glow. The artisan-forged metal balustrade introduces architectural rhythm to the space. The primary suite is a serene retreat wrapped in fine millwork & thoughtful detail. The paneled sitting room w/custom cabinetry doubles as a sophisticated home office. In the bedroom, a gas fireplace & high ceilings create a sense of grandeur, while French doors open to a private terrace overlooking a manicured garden. Bathed in natural light, the spa-inspired bath features an oversized steam shower, soaking tub, mahogany vanity w/Calcutta marble, Lefroy Brooks fixtures, heated marble floors, & pocket doors. A richly appointed mahogany dressing room w/integrated cabinetry & a dedicated packing station completes the suite. A professionally outfitted exercise room completes this level with full-height mirrors & reinforced rubber flooring for sound & stability protection. The 3rd level hosts 3 ensuite bedrooms, each filled w/natural light & custom built-ins. A charming library w/built-in shelving, a rolling ladder, & a large walk-in closet-already plumbed for a future bath-provides flexibility for a creative space or an additional bedroom. The laundry room features Electrolux washer & dryer, ample cabinetry, & marble countertop workspace.
