Alleinstehendes Einfamilienhaus Chicago

You’ll notice it before you can name it. Standing out front, taking in the clean lines and quiet confidence of this 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath contemporary masterpiece, something reads differently. The extra width, a full 30-foot lot where nearly every home nearby was built on 25. Five feet that change everything past the front door. The house doesn’t narrow. It opens. Sunlight travels the length of the main level, and the rooms give way to one another with an ease that can’t be engineered into a narrower footprint. The kitchen is a chef’s dream and the most seductive room in the house; designer through and through, dark against light, warmed after dusk by soft lighting beneath the cabinetry. It was made for long dinners and late conversations and it never sends you away from your guests: the living space lies open beside it, the rear doors just past that, so an evening drifts from counter to sofa to garden without a single pause. Outside, that evening finds a paver patio with a full outdoor kitchen and a dining table built for a crowd. Beyond it, a wide expanse of turf that holds its green long past the season, seating drawn around a fire, ivy climbing the garage wall, warm light strung overhead. Room to gather. Room to linger. Room to play. The rarest luxury in the city. The top floor is a private world. The primary suite opens through a wall of glass to a terrace of your own, sun on your face and rooftops running to the horizon, without ever leaving the room. The bathroom in marble, serene and spa-inspired. Two more bedrooms share the level, bright and full of treetop light. The finished lower level lives beautifully on its own: 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and generous space to spread out. Every floor living its own life at once, no one on top of anyone. An oversized 2 car garage with abundant storage completes the offering. All of it, steps from the restaurants, parks, desirable schools and transit that make West Town what it is. The whole neighborhood, and everything around it, within an easy walk. Here is what no renovation can deliver. Walls move. Kitchens are reborn. Baths are gutted and gleam again. Five feet of frontage is not for sale at any price. Lots this wide reach the market a fraction as often as the rest, and rarely are they this impeccably kept. The photography shows you what it looks like. Standing inside will tell you what it feels like.
