Built to provide extraordinary wide open living spaces with tons of sunlight this one of a kind contemporary home is a fine example of Chicago architectural diversity.  The extra large building footprint allows for extreme flexibility in how the home lives.  The impressive stone facade plays on a theme of adaptability with what appears to be two front entrances.  The bonus doorway can be used as an exclusive entry to the guest suite or home office.  Its amazing how just a few steps down from street level the entrance to the home takes on a sense of dignified privacy.

From the generous foyer visitors ascend a wide stairway to reveal soaring ceilings and tall windows that enclose a sunny outdoor room while the tiered dining room and living room layer grand living spaces in front of two huge south facing windows.  At the rear of the home an open chefs kitchen provides plenty of space for those inevitable large gatherings of friends and family who may overflow to the outdoor dining room. Of course a necessary half bath is tucked just beyond a discreet coat closet off the main living space.

A dramatic wood staircase to the second floor sets the stage for more sun filled windows, an overlook to the outdoor dining room and entry to an outdoor patio deck that covers the two car garage.  A second bedroom, a smart home office space and full bath complete this level of the home.

The full top floor master bedroom suite lives like a self contained contemporary spa villa.  A large private lounge on the south and master bedroom with fireplace to the north with a luxury spa tub and steam shower in between.  From this restful retreat there is even a private balcony and stairs down to the outdoor entertainment deck. 

Located in a very special lakeview neighborhood within the burley literature and writing magnet school attendance area.  This is truly a unique opportunity to create your special home in this extra large living space.
