Presenting 1018 N Oakley. A stunning one of a kind Ukrainian Village, turn of the century, single family brick beauty. Located on one of Chicago's most beautiful historically protected blocks. This 6 bedroom, 3.1 bathroom home has been masterfully redesigned by renowned Chicago based designer, Gil Melott. Every inch of this home has been meticulously curated achieving the rare status of being featured in renowned international architectural and interior design magazines including Luxe Interiors + Design. Updates on the first floor include the crown jewel of the home, a chef's kitchen that not only presents beautifully but brings functional practicality combining art and ingenuity. The living room features a custom-molded honed Nero Marquina marble fireplace, which was custom made and flown in direct from Italy. Melott designed the classical built-in bookshelves surrounding the fireplace with local fabricator Joel Fisher of Lazuli Studios. The first floor powder room has also been fully renovated. Custom lighting abounds in both the ceiling and fixtures throughout the home, as does tastefully curated molding along the ceilings. The basement was fully renovated in 2023 and includes a new wet bar and beverage center, new radiant heated floors for toasty winter evenings, a wine room with an additional wine fridge for 50 bottles for total storage of 200 bottles, a workout room with built in rubber flooring and mirrored walls and a second laundry room - perfect for entertaining friends, little ones or for housing an in-law suite or live-in au pair. Upstairs features a rare 4 bedroom layout with the primary featuring two large walk-in closets and a primary bathroom that has a steam shower plus separate soaking tub. The other 3 bedrooms on the same floor each offer great space and storage including custom built-in closets in every closet in the home. The two back decks - one over the garage with a built in gas line for an outdoor living room and landscaping that gives real privacy - and the one immediately off the family room allows for plenty of outdoor entertaining and adds extra space for optimal entertaining and summer living. Imagine hosting family and friends in these delightful spaces, creating memories that will last a lifetime. You can relax knowing the roof was a complete tear off and rebuilt in 2024.
