Exquisitely designed and impeccably maintained, this 4 bedroom, 3.1 bath single family home in West Lakeview is the perfect home. Renovated in 2019, the owners added an 8-camera security system, all new windows and doors, white oak hardwood flooring, Brizo plumbing fixtures, lighting and finishes throughout while maintaining the original 1920s staircase. Sunny and bright, the main level features a spacious living room with sleek built-in shelves and surround sound. Adjacent to the living room is a tastefully appointed office with elegant steel and glass sliding doors, a decorative Nero Marquina marble fireplace, custom blackened oak built-ins, and the original 1920's tin ceiling. The powder room features graphic cement tile and a Duravit steel and porcelain sink console. The kitchen is a cook's dream with honed Super White quartzite tops, waterfall island and solid stone backsplash, custom designed hood with floating shelves at range, all Subzero and Wolf appliances (including Wolf steam oven) plus Bosch dishwasher, Subzero fridge, and fully custom cabinetry with Buster + Punch hardware. Adjacent to the kitchen and dining area is the perfect butler's pantry with Carrara marble countertops, custom cabinetry, glazed thin brick tile backsplash with walnut floating shelves, and a Subzero undercounter beverage center. Up the stairs to the second level, you will find a library landing with a Buster + Punch chandelier, custom designed Amish walnut and painted cabinetry workspace with tall storage, bookshelves, a desk, and a reading nook. The serene primary suite enjoys abundant sunlight and features Allied Maker bedside sconces, custom linen drapery, and a large walk-in closet with in-wall safe. The luxurious ensuite bathroom has a skylight and offers a white oak double vanity with marble counter and shower bench seat, and Ann Sacks marble floor and wall tile throughout. Both the second and third bedrooms are graciously sized with board and batten wall trim and custom closets. The hall bath features a honed Carrara slab tub deck and apron, walnut vanity with Carrara top and wall mounted faucet, and honed Carrara wall tile. Down the stairs to finished lower level, you will find an open living area that fits a pool table and a secret bookshelf that leads to hidden storage space and large safe, a fitness room with sports flooring and full height mirrors, a large laundry room and utility space with sink, guest bedroom with walk in closet, huge basement full bath with Kohler pedestal sink and large glassed-in shower. Located just blocks from Wrigley Field, Southport Corridor, several schools (Hamilton, St. Andrew, Lakeview High School, Lane Tech, and DePaul Prep), CTA trains and buses, this home has it all.
