Description

Welcome to an extraordinary blend of elegance, craftsmanship, and modern comfort in this stunning residence located on a tree-lined street in Lincoln Square. Built in 2016 by Thady Construction, this meticulously designed home offers nearly 5,000 square feet of luxury living across three levels. This home's impressive curb appeal features Hardie plank siding with stone accents, professionally landscaped front and rear yards, and snow-melt brick paver walkways and patios. A stately 8-foot mahogany front door sets the tone with every inch thoughtfully appointed with designer finishes and tailored functionality. Step inside to soaring 10' ceilings and rich dark-stained red oak floors that flow seamlessly through the main and upper levels. Custom millwork includes 7" baseboards and 6" crown moldings while oversized windows bathe the home in natural light. The living room offers a wood-burning fireplace (converted to gas logs) framed by a custom mantel and marble surround. Opposite, the formal dining room stuns with a tray ceiling, custom built-in hutch, and ambient in-cabinet lighting. The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen-featuring white, custom Amish cabinetry with soft-close drawers, quartzite countertops, and a massive contrasting island with prep sink. Premium stainless and integrated appliances include a Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf range with center griddle and pot filler, and dual Bosch dishwashers. A custom, built-in, corner breakfast nook and stylish designer lighting complete the space. Just off the kitchen is a fully outfitted butler's pantry with additional cabinetry, quartzite counter, and wine cooler as well as a spacious, custom organized, walk-in pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen is the coffered-ceiling family room with a second wood-burning fireplace, flanked by built-ins and a custom matte gold framed TV. Upstairs, the primary suite features cathedral ceilings, motorized shades, dual walk-in closets with premium wood-grain built-ins, and a spa-quality marble bath. Enjoy the oversized steam shower with rain shower head, hand shower and body sprays, freestanding soaking tub, heated marble floors, dual vanities, and private water closet. Three additional spacious bedrooms on the top floor include a lofted-ceiling second with organized, walk-in closet and ensuite porcelain tile bath as well as a full hall bath with dual sinks and glass-enclosed standing shower. Thoughtful details including a hall linen closet and upper-level laundry room with front-load washer/dryer, granite counters for folding space, utility sink, and custom cabinetry add everyday ease. Down the stairs find a custom mudroom and glass exterior door leading to the rear brick paver patio-with gas and electric hookups and snowmelt systems. The expansive lower level offers flexible living and entertaining with a large family/media room wired for surround sound and a wet bar with custom cabinetry, granite counters, beverage center, and designer lighting. A fifth bedroom with French doors makes a perfect office, while sixth and seventh (ensuite) bedrooms provide private guest accommodations. A second laundry area, abundant storage, technology center and radiant heated floors complete this level. The three-car garage, also in Hardie siding, includes a walk-up attic loft and a yard access door. Every system in this home is designed for efficiency and comfort: dual-zone, high-efficiency HVAC, radiant boiler system, and NEST smart thermostats per zone. A full Savant whole-house sound system, security system, and smart lighting and window treatment automation bring modern convenience and peace of mind. This thoughtfully designed, impeccably maintained home exudes luxury and livability just steps from all that Lincoln Square has to offer. Close to shopping, dining, great schools and transportation. Prepare to be impressed!
