This rare and exceptional ~6,000 sq. ft. luxury residence is a masterpiece of design, space, and sophistication. Completely renovated to the studs in 2014, this light-filled and expansive home features a 24-foot-wide floor plan that feels even more spacious due to its lot line-to-lot-line construction, soaring 14-foot ceilings, and exquisite architectural details, including exposed brick and bespoke finishes. Designed for both grand entertaining and effortless everyday living, the home offers five spacious bedrooms, four full and three half bathrooms, and an incredible custom kitchen equipped with professional-grade appliances, a striking 15-foot island, and a butler's pantry. The elegant formal living and dining rooms flow seamlessly into a sprawling great room and an oversized family room, creating an unparalleled sense of openness and luxury. The home boasts two spectacular outdoor spaces: a heated terrace that extends effortlessly from the family room and kitchen, ideal for year-round entertaining, and an expansive rooftop deck offering breathtaking city views. A rare find in the city, this home includes a fully attached three-car garage and over 2,300 sq. ft. of professionally designed outdoor space, rivaling the most exclusive private terraces in Chicago. The lavish primary suite serves as a serene retreat, complemented by generous guest bedrooms, two laundry areas, a mudroom, a climate-controlled wine cellar, and a full bar. Cutting-edge Savant smart home technology ensures the ultimate in modern convenience. Additionally, the current homeowners have undergone numerous high-end improvements, including new Marvin windows and custom window treatments in the primary suite, a California Closet build-out in the primary suite, new custom draperies on the main level, a beautifully renovated main level powder room, Zip Water filtered water system, a refined stair runner, and a privatized outdoor terrace on the main level-among many other enhancements. Situated in the sought after Lakeview neighborhood, this home is steps away from a plethora of highly acclaimed schools, including Harriet Tubman Elementary, Alphonsus Academy & Center for the Arts, and Kensington Day Care. Additionally, residents enjoy convenient access to parks, public transportation, and a diverse array of dining and shopping options. With an impeccable floor plan, stunning outdoor spaces, and unmatched attention to detail, this extraordinary home is a true standout in luxury living-a gem in a class of its own.
