Description

This truly one-of-a-kind 5,800 sq ft warehouse conversion captures the essence of a SoHo loft, reimagined with warm Chicago elegance in the heart of Lakeview. A thoughtfully executed gut renovation showcases an extra-wide 23-foot floor plan, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and exposed brick, creating a sense of scale, warmth, and architectural presence that cannot be replicated. Designed for both everyday living and elevated entertaining, the main level features formal living and dining spaces alongside a stunning custom chef's kitchen anchored by a 12-foot Calacatta Gold quartz island. Outfitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a fully built-out butler's pantry with wet bar and beverage refrigeration, and seamless flow throughout, this kitchen is as functional as it is striking. A Jack-and-Jill bath connects two versatile main-level rooms, ideal for a guest suite, office, or fitness space. Upstairs, a beautifully designed family room with custom built-ins opens to over 1,100 square feet of professionally curated outdoor living space, complete with outdoor kitchen, integrated sound, and heaters, plus two additional rooftop levels above, offering flexibility for lounging and entertaining. The full-floor primary suite is a private retreat, featuring dual walk-in closets and a spa-caliber bath with heated floors and a steam shower. Three generously sized bedrooms occupy the second level. Additional highlights include multiple laundry rooms, a thoughtfully designed mudroom, climate-controlled wine storage, a 1,000 sq ft lower-level flex space, Control4 smart home integration, Lutron shades throughout, and many more thoughtful upgrades. Completing the home is a fully attached, extra-wide 2.5-car garage, an exceptional and rare amenity for the neighborhood. All of this just steps from Lakeview's best: Whole Foods, Fresh Market, neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants, parks, and the Wellington CTA. A home of this scale, width, and architectural integrity rarely comes to market.
