Property Description

Situated in Lincoln Park's best kept secret, this exceptional residence, on nearly three city lots, is one of only two freestanding single-family homes in the McCormick Row House District - an enclosed quad of residences creating an oasis where kids ride their bikes and play freely, transforming into a private ice skating rink in the winter. Architecturally distinct and meticulously renovated, this unparalleled home is remarkable in scale, flooded with natural light from all exposures and offers a rare sense of privacy within one of Lincoln Park's most discreet enclaves. Encompassing over 8,000 square feet, the home - roughly forty-five feet wide, offers six bedrooms, six full and two half baths, seamlessly balances modern luxury with its historic character. A grand double-door entry opens to a center hall, where the sweeping staircase has been restored to its original architectural integrity. The main level features a gracious living room and refined library, each anchored by a decorative fireplace, flowing into a formal dining room ideal for both elegant entertaining and everyday living. The custom, sun-filled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring extensive cabinetry, quartzite countertops and an oversized island. Outfitted with commercial-grade Thermador appliances, it is as functional as it is beautifully appointed. A generous eat-in area and double-sided fireplace connect the kitchen to the great room, where a south-facing nano glass door system opens directly to the terrace, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow and filling the space with natural light. The second level hosts four en-suite bedrooms connected by a generous sitting room or gallery. The primary suite offers a private retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath featuring radiant heated floors, a double vanity, dressing table, oversized walk-in steam shower and freestanding tub. The third floor offers incredible flexibility with vaulted ceilings and skylights, featuring a recreation room, game room and dedicated study or play area, along with a full bath. The lower level provides additional living space with radiant heated floors, a generous family room, fitness room or sixth bedroom, sauna and an additional bedroom with a full bath, ideal for guests. Outdoor living is equally well considered, with a welcoming front porch and a thoughtfully designed rear terrace featuring multiple seating areas overlooking a professionally landscaped backyard that offers both privacy and space to relax or entertain. Residents of the McCormick Row House District also benefit from access to DePaul University amenities, including 24/7 roaming security service, snow removal, three community parking passes exclusive per residence with private outdoor parking, a private entrance and a beautifully maintained green parkway, enhancing both convenience and the sense of a secluded residential enclave.
