Take a step back in architectural time in historic East Lincoln Park. Situated on tree-lined Roslyn Place, this stunning brownstone is representative of the grandeur of old Chicago. Located less than a block from Lincoln Park proper and walking distance to the lake and Lincoln Park Zoo, this Italianate style 4+ bedroom/3.5 bath single-family home's sandstone facade, cast iron railings and overhanging eaves are sure to catch your eye. The 4500 square foot home features an architecturally reconfigured open floor plan for modern day convenience. The main level opens to an inviting foyer with hand-carved wainscoting, ornamental glass and powder room. The adjacent living room showcases a meticulously restored ceiling relief, tall muntin-embellished windows and refinished hardwood floors. The connected sun-lit dining room features an original cerulean tile-fronted fireplace that has been upgraded to a working ventless gas fireplace as well as an original Beaux Arts chandelier and smoothly flows into the family room with coffered ceiling, custom drapery, decorative fireplace and large bay window. Moving through the home to the rear of the main level we find the bright and cozy kitchen with granite countertops, island, wine fridge, disposal, "ready-hot" water tap/purifier, extra cabinet space, a pantry and top of the line stainless steel appliances (Wolf, Bosch & Sub-Zero). On the second level, we find a massive primary suite with yet another fireplace and original decorative windows as well as an ensuite with dual vanity granite countertops, glass-encased twin shower, separate soaking tub, bidet and heated floors. Beyond the ensuite, we enter a huge walk-in dressing room/closet complete with front loading Samsung washer and dryer. Finishing out the second level is a sun-filled den with decorative crown molding that can also be used as a fifth bedroom. The third floor houses a full bathroom and three additional bedrooms, including one exceptionally large room, also with a fireplace, that can lend itself to a variety of uses. The full finished basement with brand new carpeting and front and rear exterior entry points offers a full bathroom, kitchenette, storage room and recreation room. The basement offers many possibilities, from a family rec room to related living or a separate income producing rental unit. The home also features its own private backyard with an ombre slate outdoor patio. Interior staircase leads to the roof with 360 degree views and the option to add a rooftop deck.
