Timeless Greystone On A Double Lot

Property Description

One-of-a-kind house available once in a generation. This stately Greystone was purchased along with the adjacent vacant lot in the late 1980s, and three of the four levels were completely rebuilt inside. The top floor remains a vintage 1,376 sq ft 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment with study, sitting room, two decorative fireplaces, and a renovated kitchen and bath. A rear extension across the adjoining lot created a gracious front courtyard hidden behind a tall brick wall, offering complete privacy in the heart of Lincoln Park. The fenced backyard provides extensive entertaining space and extra parking for two cars beside the brick two-car garage. The expansive interior is perfect for a large household or anyone who enjoys generous living space. The main floor features a private library with gas fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and pocket doors. The long dining room with fireplace connects to the oversized kitchen, complete with a long island and sink, side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, gas cooktop, double ovens, abundant counterspace, and ample cabinetry. A large table faces the island, creating an ideal gathering space. A few steps down is the light-filled living room with French doors opening to both the backyard and front courtyard. A powder room, laundry pantry, and walk-in back closet complete this level. The second floor opens to a bright study with bay windows and built-in shelves. The primary suite spans the width of the home and includes a marble-clad gas fireplace, walk-in closet, bay windows with plantation shutters, and a marble ensuite bath with double-wide walk-in shower and linen closet. Additional bedrooms include a large combined bedroom and two more bedrooms with walk-in closets and Juliette balconies. Includes two more full bathrooms. The lower level offers a spacious bedroom, full bath, recreation room with courtyard access, and private entry to the legal top-floor apartment with separate HVAC and laundry. Located near shopping, dining, parks, CTA lines, and top schools, with a 96 Walk Score and excellent transit access.
