About This Home

An exceptional newer construction residence in the coveted Bell School District, this impeccably crafted brick home combines timeless architecture with sophisticated design and effortless everyday living. Rebuilt in 2017 and perfectly positioned on a quiet, tree lined one way street, this turnkey home offers an extraordinary blend of luxury finishes, thoughtful functionality, and beautifully designed indoor and outdoor living spaces. A covered front porch and elegant stone entry welcome you into a light filled interior where rich hardwood flooring, custom millwork, designer lighting, and refined hardware create a warm yet elevated atmosphere. Designed for both intimate gatherings and large scale entertaining, the expansive main level seamlessly connects the formal living and dining rooms to a stunning chef's kitchen featuring Carrara marble countertops, an oversized island, premium appliances, and abundant custom cabinetry. The adjoining family room extends naturally to the rear deck, creating a seamless connection between the home's interior and outdoor living spaces. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers five spacious bedrooms and three and a half beautifully appointed bathrooms, including three bedrooms on the upper level and two additional bedrooms on the lower level, ideal for guests, a home office, fitness studio, or recreation space. Bathed in southern light, the luxurious primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a spa inspired bath featuring marble floors, dual marble vanities, a deep soaking tub, and an oversized glass enclosed shower. Outdoor living is equally impressive with multiple spaces designed for entertaining and relaxation, including a private rear deck and an expansive rooftop garage, that was professionally designed, offering the perfect setting for outdoor dining, lounging, or enjoying warm summer and fall evenings. Two separate laundry areas and exceptional storage throughout further enhance the home's thoughtful design. Perfectly situated in one of North Center's most desirable neighborhoods, this exceptional residence is moments from Bell School, Lane Tech, Hamlin Park with its pool, tennis courts, athletic fields, and community center, as well as nearby Welles Park and the North Center Town Square. Enjoy easy access to the boutiques, cafes, and acclaimed restaurants along Roscoe Street, Lincoln Avenue, Southport Corridor, and North Center, with convenient access to the Addison, Irving Park, and Montrose Brown Line stations for an effortless commute to downtown.
