About this home
This stately, all-brick corner two-flat in Lincoln Square offers something rare: the warmth, scale, and craftsmanship of a single-family home with the added versatility of a second full residence. Whether you envision multi-generational living, hosting extended family, or simply enjoying exceptional space and privacy, this home delivers. From the street, the classic yellow brick facade and oversized leaded stained-glass windows set the tone - timeless Chicago architecture with undeniable presence. Inside, you'll find two expansive 3-bedroom, 2-bath residences, each thoughtfully updated while preserving the home's historic character. Classic Craftsmanship Meets Modern Comfort Both units feature beautifully restored original millwork, generous room sizes, formal dining rooms, and hardwood floors throughout - details that are increasingly hard to find. Practical upgrades include double-hung vinyl windows in bedrooms, kitchens, and baths for comfort and efficiency. Comfort, Efficiency & Peace of Mind Modernized mechanicals support easy living: copper plumbing, two separate boilers, and two forced-air A/C systems, offering the comfort of radiant heat paired with central air - a rare and highly desirable combination. The Second-Floor Owner's Residence - A True Retreat The upper unit feels like a private sanctuary: A custom white kitchen with quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, built-in oven and microwave, gas cooktop, wine rack, and skylights that flood the space with natural light Modernized baths, recessed lighting, dimmer switches, and wired sound throughout A bright, airy layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining A Fully Updated First Floor - Perfectly Flexible The first-floor residence is equally move-in ready, offering custom maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and two updated bathrooms - ideal for guests, family, or future flexibility. Everyday City Conveniences Two-car brick garage, plus space for additional exterior parking spaces Room to Grow Below The clean, dry full basement offers outstanding potential - rec room, home gym, workshop, or storage. With two entrances, it also provides future flexibility for expansion. This is a home that lives beautifully - blending architectural character, thoughtful upgrades, and space that adapts to your lifestyle. Set in one of Chicago's most beloved neighborhoods, this Lincoln Square beauty offers the opportunity to own something truly special.
