Overview

This extraordinary 5-bedroom, 4.1-bath custom residence sits on an exceptionally rare 26.5-foot-wide lot and offers thoughtfully designed living spaces that blend timeless craftsmanship with modern sophistication. A striking brick and limestone facade with a professionally landscaped front yard, turf, and heated steps sets the tone. This 2017-built home has custom designed interiors filled with bespoke details-wide-plank oak hardwood floors, curated wallpaper and window treatments, and statement light fixtures throughout. The main level begins with a dramatic foyer leading into a spacious living and dining room anchored by a fireplace with antique mirror surround. The dining area comfortably hosts ten, while the adjacent butler's pantry connects seamlessly to the chef's kitchen featuring fully integrated SubZero and Wolf appliances, an oversized island with seating for four, quartz countertops, an antiqued mirror backsplash and a spacious breakfast area create both form and function. Unwind in the spacious sunlit family room, which leads to a convenient mudroom and backyard patio with built-in grill, outdoor fireplace and covered gangway to the 2-car garage. Above the garage, a wide roof deck with composite decking and custom planter boxes extends the living space outdoors. The second floor is designed for comfort with three en-suite bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with dual California closets, custom drapery, and views of the private garage deck oasis. The spa-like bath features heated floors, steam shower, soaking tub, and dual vanity with antiqued mirror backsplash. The lower level, with tall ceilings, was designed for entertaining-complete with a spacious rec room, custom wet bar, game area, built-in sound, and plush carpet. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a second laundry complete the space. A top-level doghouse leads to the expansive roof terrace, finished with composite decking, built-in planters, irrigated landscaping, a pergola, fire table, and multiple seating areas-all with city and cathedral views. Additional amenities include a sprinklered fire safety system, integrated Sonos sound in four zones, and heated floors throughout the lower level and all second-floor baths. Situated in the heart of Bucktown, the home is just two blocks from the 606 Trail, across from Drummond School and Park, near the Blue Line and Clybourn Metra, and minutes from neighborhood favorites like Mirra, Etta, Club Lucky, and boutique shopping along Damen Avenue.
