731 W Melrose St. #2

Stateliness defines this all-brick and limestone boutique elevator building, fashioned to complement the vintage brownstones on this highly sought, treelined street in East Lakeview. This attention to detail is carried throughout the spacious, well-designed and appointed, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom, single-floor residence. Constructed in 2015, the extra-wide and deep lot offers 36 feet of interior width for gracious, uncompromised elegance with direct-elevator access into an open-living floor plan, 10-foot ceilings, eight-foot doors, extensive millwork, custom built-ins, walnut hardwood flooring and abundant natural light flowing through large windows with multiple exposures. A gas fireplace with an oversized limestone surround anchors the living room and is framed by custom built-ins. The kitchen is a chef and entertainer's dream with floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry, white quartz counters with a perfectly hued blue-gray tile backsplash, a massive island, a 48-inch Sub-Zero paneled refrigerator, a 48-inch Wolf range and two Bosch dishwashers. The professionally organized pantry rivals that of a Single-Family Home. The well-proportioned dining room sits off the kitchen, opening onto a nearly 300 square-foot heated, brick-paved covered terrace, one of two of the home's private outdoor spaces. The generously sized primary ensuite offers two walk-in closets and a marble-clad bathroom with Rohl fixtures, steam shower, air tub and heated floors. An ideally located adjoining laundry room leads to two additional ensuite bedrooms with baths outfitted with timeless finishes. The fourth bedroom sits closest to the main living area, offering a variety of flexible uses from a home office to gym or media room. Other remarkable features include professionally-designed closets, generous storage outside the back entrance and in a separate common-area room, a private, garage rooftop terrace with newly painted wood deck and parking for two cars-including one garage and additional covered, tandem space. A heated, brick-paved walkway welcomes owners and guests through a private, gated entrance. The building is well maintained with preventive and enhancement projects to ensure its intrinsic beauty and surrounds are preserved. There are several private and public schools nearby, including Nettelhorst down the block. Enjoy the best of East Lakeview in this distinctive residential building, with easy access to Lake Shore Drive and public transportation and walkability to the Lake and countless shops, restaurants, cafes, fitness studios, grocery stores and more along Broadway and Halsted streets.
