Get ready to fall in love with this incredibly unique and luxurious urban oasis! There is nothing like this on the market and the attention to detail, unique architectural features and charm will take your breath away. From the moment you pull up to this stunning extra wide single family home situated on a mature tree-filled quiet one way street, you'll picture yourself making this your retreat from the world. Located in the sought-after Coonley School District, this beautiful open floor plan was made for entertaining friends and family. Walking in the home, you will note the strikingly beautiful open staircase leading you to each level of the home. Built with multiple areas in mind for rest, play and work--the separation of space on three distinct levels allows for an incredible variety of scenarios from related living to that home gym you've always dreamed of, the garden and back yard you've wished for, and the space to expand and blossom. And blossom you will, because this one-owner home was lovingly cared for and improved with perennial flowers and trees a landscaper would be envious of and just planted last year...fresh paint and carpet in the jaw dropping recreation room on the lower level (which has a beautiful wet bar and mini-kitchen for those movie nights and built-in custom book and storage shelves for all sorts of fun pursuits); gleaming oak floors in all other living areas and bedrooms. Let's expand on those living areas--the room sizes, oversized closets and beaming natural light from multiple exposures are a game-changer versus other existing homes on the market. This truly feels like new construction with the best of old-world charm. The finishes and fixtures are out of a magazine, with a fully equipped chef's grade kitchen with tremendous cabinet and counter space, a massive quartz center island people will gravitate to, double ovens, Bosch appliances and more. You can see the roaring low-profile extra long fireplace from every corner on the main level, which also features a powder room so guests are not troubled to go up or down a level during dinners or gatherings. Another brilliant touch of this floor plan is that the laundry room is on the upper level by 3 of the bedrooms, but there is a utility room and sink in the lower level with the potential to add another washer/dryer for the two bedrooms and full bath on the lower level. Speaking of the bathrooms, all 3 baths and the half bath powder room are spa-quality, and the primary suite bathroom features a jaw-dropping shower and soaking tub wet room, body sprays, radiant heated floor and a vaulted ceiling to match the vaulted ceiling in the enormous primary bedroom (with room for a king sized bed and full set of furniture, and a juliet balcony overlooking the back yard garden and massive back deck). The second upper level bathroom wasn't overlooked either, with double sinks and a soaker tub you'd only find in most primary suites elsewhere. Yet another unique charm of this home is a true "sitting" front porch with room for furniture so you can sip your morning coffee overlooking the lovingly maintained, landscaped front yard. While each area of this home will steal a piece of your heart, the utility and versatility will capture your mind. The a/c is dual zoned, the oversized 2 car garage has additional storage, and the yard is virtually maintenance-free and sustainable by design. Two entrances to the back yard and gazebo with a mud room and coat/storage area in one make inclement weather a breeze. Parks, Riverbank Neighbors intimate walking trail, fine dining, highway and transit nearby--but you may never want to leave home again. Easy to show and quick close possible, expect more and receive it here!

The Hutchinson Street Historic District is well-known and long-admired for its rich history, storied architecture, and lush landscapes. This house is no exception. Built in 1913 for Edward L. Thornton, Vice President of the John E. Burns Lumber Company. Thornton wanted to bring a little bit of his "west coast" roots to Buena Park (which, at the turn of the century, was a lakefront oasis for Chicago's most notable names). Thornton commissioned architect Leon F. Urbain (later known as the father of "tongue and groove" hardwood floors in 1927) to design this Spanish Mission style home, a design then-popular in California. The house was met with criticism from neighbors concerned about the home's stucco facade, where the rest of Hutchinson Street was comprised of mostly all-brick homes. Urbain brilliantly incorporated elements of Prairie and Craftsman influences into the design, such as a porte cochere with sleeping porch above, second story planter box, and side-entrance front door to give the illusion of privacy, like many other homes on Hutchinson Street. The facade is so important that in 2002, a facade easement agreement was granted by Landmarks Illinois to ensure this masterpiece will retain its character for generations to come***! Through the large arched front door entrance is the grand foyer, with natural light pouring in from the large windows in the living room, dining room, and landing atop the sweeping staircase. The grand yet cozy formal living room features an incredible marble fireplace, and could be broken up into several seating areas for entertaining. The tall arched windows of this room are the central focus of the house, both inside and out. A square formal dining room is perfect for large dinner parties and holidays, or could be more casual with a round-top table. The kitchen is fully equipped with 42" cabinetry, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, and center island. The breakfast nook features great storage space under the seating, and leads to a tranquil, beautifully landscaped patio with a fire pit. The upstairs floor plan is truly unique for Chicago. Four bedrooms all on the same floor, plus a den/library/office that could easily be used as a 5th bedroom, if needed. The primary suite has two walk-in closets w/updated closet organizers, an updated en suite bathroom with walk-in shower and jetted tub. Two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, one of the bedrooms leads to a sitting rm (used to be the sleeping porch over the porte cochere). Another guest bedroom has its own en suite bathroom (was likely a servant's quarters when built). At the back of the house is the den/library/office with built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and wall-to-wall windows on east and west sides of the room--great for enjoying morning light and sunsets. The walk-up attic isn't quite tall enough to be finished into living space, but is perfect for additional storage space! The finished basement rec room is a great space to escape to for movie night or video games, and has a recently updated wet bar, along with a powder room, large storage space/mechanical room, and cellar access to the backyard. The house sits in the middle of Buena Park, known for "Good Living By the Lake". Lakefront bike path and beach access is right at the end of the street, plus a plethora of public transit options (CTA 146 and 148 express buses are on each ends of the blocks, plus several other CTA bus and train options nearby). Two blocks to Jewel, Target, Aldi, & dinner options like Bar on Buena & The Reservoir! Easy access to Lake Shore Drive (you can be on the drive in less than 3 mins) & a quick drive to downtown! It's no wonder this house has had so few owners, and why homes like these are a once-in-a-generation opportunity. This house awaits the next owner to write its next chapter. ***Facade Easement Agreement is available for review and only protects the south, east and west exterior elevations. The interior is not historically landmarked.***

ZSD Development is preserving the amazing facade, while carefully deconstructing the interior to the steel and brick in order to create a top-of-the-market, soundproofed, elevator condominium building. A total of 18 wholly-distinctive homes-each with irreplaceable architectural elements of the church, large private outdoor spaces, and secured, interior parking-will feature 3-4 bedrooms, 2-4 bathrooms, and interior space and windows like nothing else in Chicago. Original architectural elements include four former bell towers for incredible outdoor living rooms, four octagonal living rooms from altar space, three homes with their own private limestone entryways on Noble or Chestnut, 4 homes with limestone colonnade windows, 6 homes with soaring ceilings with exposed steel roof trusses, and, of course, 3 homes with the impossibly-scaled 16-ft diameter rose windows. There is still time to personalize your own finishes, kitchen and baths to compliment your one-of-a-kind living space. Prices range from $750K to $1.75M with deliveries beginning in early 2023. Your urban sanctuary awaits.
