Situated on a large double lot in Lincoln Park, Chicago's most desirable neighborhood for residential vibes, community values and architectural integrity, 1901 N. Howe St. is a gorgeous, meticulously updated, 7 bed/6 bath single-family home with breadth of space and modern appointments. Inside, a contemporary coastal design unfolds across 8,500 total square feet, beginning with a formal entry that's flanked by a sizable multi-purpose suite and a sun-kissed sitting room. A double pass through elegantly leads to the home's open-concept great room. Here, high ceilings with exposed wood beams and floor-to-ceiling windows accent a freshly remodeled kitchen, living and dining space. The fashionable kitchen stuns with white cabinets, brass hardware, an opalescent tile backsplash, integrated chef's grade appliances, a dine-up island and a pantry, while the adjacent dining area can accommodate an oversize farm table for large-scale entertaining and family meals. The family room features custom built-ins and a gas fireplace. The great room seamlessly connects to the home's impressive outdoor footprint, including a big backyard with privacy fence, a custom deck, and a sports court. Back inside, the second level is accessed by a pair of beautiful staircases. Here, five bedrooms and a sitting area present all on one level, including a peaceful primary suite with dueling walk-in closets, a private terrace, and a spa-like bath with double sinks, a make-up vanity, and a separate tub and shower. (Two of the secondary bedrooms are ensuite, while the other two share a central bath.) The penthouse level is an indoor/outdoor retreat with oversize east- and west-facing IPE decks and a wet bar. Inheritable details throughout include hardwood floors, meticulous millwork, French doors and designer light fixtures.
