Step into a world of modern luxury in Historic Wicker Park with our newly listed apartment.
Introducing a Stunning, Newly Renovated 2BD plus full size den and 2BA Unit in the Historic Landmark August Lenke House. This double corner lot gem is nestled on one of Wicker Park's most exclusive streets and is a rare and prized property listed on the National Park Service registry of Historic Places.
August Lenke, a native of Germany, arrived in Chicago in 1864 and embarked on a journey that led him to become a prominent figure in various businesses, including feed and flour, coal mining, and serving as Fish Commissioner of Illinois. His legacy is now woven into the very fabric of this historic brownstone.
Constructed in 1890 in the Romanesque style, the August Lenke House stands tall on an oversized 50x100 lot, offering over 7500 sq ft of living space. Today, it has been thoughtfully reimagined into five private apartments, each with its own direct private entry and multiple private outdoor spaces. This masterpiece also includes a professionally landscaped private garden oasis for residents to enjoy.
This exquisite middle-floor two-bedroom plus full size den apartment is designed to maximize natural light with the spacious 1,600 square-foot floorplan bathed in sunlight from the east, south, and west. With 12' ceilings and top-of-the-line designer finishes, including new oak floors throughout, single-family quality appliances, a quartz kitchen island, custom built-ins and lighting, and floor-to-ceiling tile surround showers, this unit exudes sophistication.
Every detail has been carefully considered, from the placement of electrical outlets and lighting to the soft-close closets and drawers, and more.
Convenience is paramount with easy street parking nearby. You'll find yourself in the heart of Wicker Park, surrounded by the vibrant energy of the neighborhood. You're just moments away from the 606 Trail and the Milwaukee/Damen corridors, home to a plethora of restaurants, shops, parks, and public transit options.
In a neighborhood filled with character and history, this rarely available, unique luxury apartment stands out as a true treasure. Do not miss the opportunity to make this stunning apartment your new home.
