Description
Perched atop a distinguished vintage building set on a long, deep lot in the perfect East Lincoln Park locale, this extraordinary penthouse residence masterfully blends timeless architectural elegance with a comprehensive designer renovation. Rich in character and meticulously restored, the home showcases an exceptional level of craftsmanship rarely found in today's market. An exquisite home that has been fully reimagined and thoughtfully redesigned with custom Amish-built cabinetry, striking Crystal Spectrum quartzite imported from Brazil, and a suite of professional-grade Thermador appliances. Newly added in-unit Miele laundry offers modern convenience while preserving the home's classic appeal. Behind the walls, updated copper plumbing and enhanced electrical systems provide peace of mind for years to come. Throughout the residence, original architectural details have been painstakingly restored to their former glory. Intricate moldings, window casings, doors, radiator covers, and the charming butler's pantry have all been stripped and refinished, revealing the warmth and beauty of the original woodwork. Elegant designer wall coverings add texture and sophistication, with grass cloth accents in the dining room and a curated statement wallpaper welcoming guests in the foyer. Sunlight pours through oversized south-facing windows, enhanced by custom window treatments and UV-protective glazing designed to preserve the home's finishes while creating a comfortable living environment. Hardwood flooring has been seamlessly restored and refinished throughout, creating a cohesive and refined aesthetic from room to room. The gracious floor plan offers three generous bedrooms, one currently set up as a den with a built in library/wet bar, and two perfectly renovated baths. The beautifully scaled living and entertaining spaces are anchored by a gas fireplace that creates warmth and ambiance year-round. An oversized true dining room can accommodate a sizeable table for proper hosting and gathering. Thoughtful improvements extend to custom-organized closets, enhanced lighting throughout, carefully selected designer fixtures that elevate every corner of the home, plus dual heating system (boiler and forced air). Outdoor living is equally inviting, featuring a private rear deck enhanced with custom sunshades, offering an ideal setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or relaxed al fresco dining, plus a south facing terrace. Beyond the residence itself, the building has undergone a series of meaningful capital improvements that further enhance ownership. Recent updates include a new boiler system, upgraded electrical infrastructure, video intercom security with keyless entry, beautifully redesigned landscaping and common outdoor spaces, resurfaced garage roof, new hot water heaters, and ongoing maintenance of the building's exterior amenities. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored penthouse in an exceptional location, where historic charm, modern luxury, and exceptional stewardship converge in one remarkable home. Roof rights and one car garage parking too!
