Elevated, gracious and distinctive, this exceptional duplex home offers more than 3,500 square feet of refined living in the heart of Lincoln Park. Set on an extraordinary 37.5-foot-wide lot with generous setbacks on all sides, the handsome brick-and-limestone building provides enhanced privacy and light-filled, 27-foot-wide interiors-nearly twice the standard city width. The building's unique side entrance accommodates a proper foyer entry, creating thoughtful separation between formal and informal living spaces. The stately front living and dining room is framed by three, east-facing, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors with Juliet balconies, capturing morning light, fresh breezes and pretty streetscape views. A gas fireplace with custom built-ins completes the scene. Timeless design elements-natural white oak flooring, crown molding, 9.5-foot ceilings, oversized custom-framed windows and solid-core 8-foot doors-underscore the home's elegance. At its center, a grand chef's kitchen showcases bespoke cabinetry, an eight-foot island, separate dining area, quartzite countertops, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances (including dual dishwashers) and a butler's pantry with built-in beverage station. The large family room, anchored by a second fireplace and flanked by sliding doors, opens to a sprawling covered terrace-one of three private outdoor spaces-outfitted with porcelain pavers, fireplace and gas, water and electric service for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A separate mudroom with built-ins enhances the convenience and order of everyday life. Wood-tread stairs lead to the private quarters with radiant-heated flooring and four bedrooms, including two ensuite, and full laundry room. The luxurious primary suite offers oversized windows, a spacious walk-in closet, separate reading nook and spa-caliber bath with steam shower, soaking tub, heated floors, dual vanities and private water closet. Smart home features include three-zone HVAC with smartphone control, a full-home Sonos system, automated shades, extensive wiring, for HDTV, data and audio, security and intercom. Ample closet space enhances livability. Outdoor amenities include a newly installed brick paver patio, direct access to a private, two-car garage and a 33'x18' garage roof deck-ideal for gardening and entertaining. A snowmelt system across private walks and stairs ensures year-round ease. Constructed in 2022 by acclaimed Swan Properties, this boutique three-unit brick-and-block building exemplifies enduring craftsmanship, acoustic privacy and curated finishes. Enjoy the best of Lincoln Park-just steps to Armitage boutiques, cafes, restaurants, the "L," lakefront and more.
