Architecturally significant true loft -one of Lakeview’s hidden gems! Designed by Chicago’s very own Larry Booth of Booth Hansen Architects detailed this factory into the ultimate single family luxe residence. This home showcases soaring ceilings, an abundance of natural light, cool open spaces, and even has a swimming pool. All come together to create an amazing property that rivals the most discerning eye. Beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces engulf the home with beauty behind the fence which keeps the world guessing this is even a single-family home. Upon entering, main entry sets a wonderful elemental tone for the home. Heated concrete floors throughout the main level are a welcome accompaniment to the raw brick walls and factory roots of yesteryear. The kitchen is an entertainer’s dream, with two huge islands, a 48’ range/ hood, plus custom built-ins and south exposure that leads out to a private garden. The living-dining spaces are right out of a movie set with a steel surround fireplace and open space galore. The perfect live-work situation, a studio space with its own entry and kitchen can be accessed from this location, perfect for all of your Live/Work needs. The second floor is comprised of a wonderfully oversized primary suite, complete with a private deck that has tree lined landscape views of George Street. The ensuite spa like bathroom with soaking tub, separate shower and dual vanities, makes for an amazing respite, and a clothier’s dream walk-in closet completes the room. Three more bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms, and a laundry room round out the second floor of living space. The pool is accessed from this level as is the roof top where the factory’s original smokestack provides access to the roof, with ability to build more interior/exterior space. An attached two car garage is the icing on the cake. An absolute gem for those wanting a modern, unique home walking to all Southport Corridor has to offer and in the Harriett Tubman elementary district.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD:

LINCOLN PARK

Lincoln Park residents have it all – from the arts to its famed zoo –right in their backyard.

The neighborhood includes quiet tree-lined residential blocks, top-rated schools, DePaul University and two major museums in addition to the Lincoln Park Zoo, one of the country’s oldest zoos. There’s also a wide array of entertainment, eateries and hotspots.

An evening in Lincoln Park might include seeing a play at the acclaimed Steppenwolf Theatre and dining at a Michelin-rated restaurant or a quaint neighborhood café. Sports fans will find as many dive bars with the game on as foodies will find fine-dining restaurants with al-fresco seating.

Lincoln Park is just as delightful by day. Residents are just a walk, jog or bike ride away from the lakefront and North Avenue Beach; parks; farmers’ markets; festivals; and countless shops, ranging from upscale boutiques on Armitage to larger retailers at the Clybourn Corridor.

Smaller townhomes and vintage condominiums offer homebuyers a more affordable entry into Lincoln Park, while prices rapidly escalate for rehabs and new construction. Buyers around DePaul University can find loft condominiums in converted factories and warehouses. On its eastern edge, Lincoln Park features beautiful vintage brownstones along with high-rises with breathtaking views.

Located just two miles from downtown, Lincoln Park offers residents a quick commute to work. Public transportation abounds, with the CTA’s Brown and Red lines serving the neighborhood in addition to several bus routes and Lake Shore Drive.
