Property Description
Best Wicker Park location nestled in the heart of the Historic Landmark District, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a perfectly renovated and enlarged home, wrapped in historic charm. Surrounded by the architectural richness that defines this neighborhood, the property sits among stately Edwardian mansions and ornate Victorian homes-an area designated a Chicago Landmark in 1991 to preserve its unique character and streetscape. Originally built in the 1880s, this historic home was meticulously rebuilt from the ground up while preserving its authentic architectural soul. Lovingly designed and constructed by a master carpenter and furniture executive for their personal residence, the home showcases exceptional craftsmanship and timeless finishes throughout. One of the few wooden homes constructed after the Great Chicago Fire, the original Douglas fir lap siding was carefully removed, restored by hand, and repainted in its historically accurate yellow hue. Thoughtfully expanded with a rear addition that increased the home's square footage by 40 percent, this residence sits on an exceptionally rare 162-foot-deep lot-providing a lush backyard and an ultra-charming 2.5-car Carriage House. The main level offers gracious living and dining spaces and a wonderfully open layout, ideal for hosting and entertaining. The timeless Christopher Peacock kitchen has ample cabinetry with beautiful hardware, an 11' island, quartzite countertops, and a built-in banquette flanked by additional storage. An indoor grill with exposed brick adds to the character and charm. The south-facing great room features 22' of windows for incredible light - all overlooking the backyard. The hand-built, mahogany staircase leads to the bedroom level where you will find three generous bedrooms. The primary suite features a wall of custom closets and a nicely appointed Water Works bath with dual sinks, separate tub and shower, heated floors, and Carrera marble throughout. The two additional bedrooms share a spacious hall bath that also has heated floors. Bedroom level laundry and access to a large attic space complete this level. The lower level was fully excavated to create tall ceilings and high-end living space, including two bedrooms, a spa-like bathroom, and a large family room with French doors that open and walks out onto the expansive 25' x 40' backyard-perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Truly a turn-key masterpiece with too many details to list, blending the best of historic preservation and modern luxury in one of Chicago's most treasured neighborhoods and is truly a one of a kind.
