Property Description
The most discreet and elegant residence in all of historic Old Town. Situated on nearly 3 lots, this architecturally significant and tech forward home offers a lifestyle unlikely to ever be replicated. The grounds consist of a light-filled single family home, reimagined historic 'fire cottage', lush gardens, and an oversized 2 1/2 car garage connected by heated walkways. The primary residence, carefully designed by the current owners and renowned Rugo Raff architects, boasts natural light in every room with detailed craftsmanship throughout. The main level offers a welcoming foyer with curved plaster walls, walnut paneled library with one of 5 wood burning fireplaces, hand crafted staircase, a mezzanine, separate living room and dining room flanked with built-ins and floor to ceiling windows, piano room, and a true commercial grade kitchen. The entire west wing of the main level was raised to accommodate the basement expansion and the Food & Wine Magazine featured kitchen, one of only a handful of residential kitchens built by SML, the company that creates Michelin-starred kitchens. The second floor features a full floor primary retreat with large, custom walk-in closets, oversized bathroom w/ large open shower, teak ceiling, and skylights, heated flooring and sep water closet, and a private sitting room w/ adjacent home office. A third floor attic is a private study and quiet home office that completes the East wing of the home. Over the glass bridge is the family wing with two large bedroom suites, each with a reading loft perfect for homework or sleep overs. The lower level encompasses a generous family game and media room, modern wine cellar, and flex Rec room/music room/additional bedroom, large laundry center & full bathroom w/ walk-in shower. Tucked away through the gardens is a separate coach house with lofted bedroom space, bathroom, and kitchen ideal for guests, a gym, and art or yoga studio with a nano-wall that opens completely to the garden. The outdoor space is a fully-private walled garden with generous gathering areas, espalier pear trees, concord grape vines, arctic kiwi, and a large roof deck above an oversized 2 1/2 car garage. No expense was spared and small details abound in the creation of this meticulously cared for private compound.

Explore Old Town Triangle
Offering glimpses of what life was like before Chicago blossomed into a cosmopolitan metropolis, Old Town Triangle is a tiny historic neighborhood that embraces an old-fashion character and charm. This triangular area, just north of North Avenue and west of Clark Street, is one of few to have escaped the grid pattern street layout that became standard as the city was rapidly reconstructed after the Great Chicago Fire. Navigating through the looping one-ways and narrow passages, reminiscent of the winding streets of London, is second nature for Old Town Triangle residents. But anyone else shouldn't be surprised to find the nonsensical system of roads a bit perplexing at first. In fact, Old Town Triangle is one of the most sought-after addresses in Chicago. Three- and four-story residences that go for a million dollar-plus are commonplace here and the neighborhood's proximity to both the lake and downtown add to its already irrefutable appeal.
