SOLD BEFORE PRINT. Prime-corner, classic Chicago-brick home built in 1886 is situated perfectly in Old Town and combines historic exterior charm with a respectfully updated interior design. Conversion of this former two-flat into a single-family home was completed in 2017 and features three bedrooms & two full and one-half bathrooms. An open-concept main level offers high ceilings, vintage moldings, modern kitchen and white painted wood floors. Formal living room offers original plaster moldings while a large dining room opens into a custom kitchen with honed Carrera marble and Soapstone countertops and high-end appliances (Sub-Zero, Fisher-Pykel, Bosch, Kohler). Library/Den continues in the back of the home with access to the back porch and shared courtyard. Third bedroom currently being used as office/workout space and powder room with vintage vanity complete this level. White, painted wood floors continue onto the second floor. This level features a spacious laundry/utility room with ample storage and two large en-suite bedrooms with gorgeous custom bathrooms (wall-hung Duravit toilets in all bathrooms with Sensowash in primary bath) and walk-in closets. This home offers a sophisticated and truly unique living opportunity unlike anything in the neighborhood.
