About this home
Behind a classic Chicago facade, this contemporary four-level home in East Lakeview offers spacious living and thoughtful updates throughout. Renovated in 2020, this home includes all newer mechanicals, windows, designer lighting, and an elevator that connects every level, from the finished English basement to the 3rd level. The main level features a large living and dining area that flows into an open family room and a newer chef's kitchen (2020) with custom cabinetry, premium appliances, a professional-grade hood, a pantry, and a striking marble island. Ceiling heights in the kitchen reach nearly 20 feet, adding to the sense of space and volume. With six spacious above-grade bedrooms, this home offers tremendous flexibility to accommodate a variety of needs-whether you're looking for extra space for guests, multiple home offices, a yoga room, hobby space, or simply room to grow. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, access to a private deck, and a luxurious full bath. The finished lower level has high ceilings and flexible space for a rec room, gym, or home theater. Other features include zoned HVAC and custom closets. Outside, enjoy an oversized, fully fenced backyard -- an uncommon find in the city -- ideal for entertaining, gardening, or play. Multiple decks provide additional outdoor living options. There is also parking for up to four cars. Located just half a block from Lake Shore Drive and Belmont Harbor, this home benefits from RM6 zoning, offering the possibility of future development potential in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods. Enjoy easy access to public transportation, including express buses to downtown, the lakefront path, Belmont Harbor, and vibrant shopping and dining along Broadway....
