Un Charme Vintage Exceptionnel Rencontre Un Style De Vie De Luxe Moderne

Set on a tree-lined Lincoln Park street, 2516 N Seminary pairs the character of its original 1912 architecture with the ease of a home completely renovated in 2017. Thoughtfully preserved details, including the original restored built-in hutch and staircase, bring warmth and history to the interiors, while an exceptionally functional floor plan is designed for the way families live today. The main level moves naturally from the living and dining spaces into the kitchen, where quartzite countertops, a center island and a suite of Thermador, Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances create a polished and functional centerpiece for the home. The kitchen opens directly to the family room with a wood-burning fireplace and breakfast nook with built-in banquette. Just beyond, the impressive two-story mudroom provides a dedicated landing place for backpacks, strollers, sports equipment and everything that comes with a busy household, with custom cabinetry, brick flooring and additional lower-level storage. From here, step directly outside to a true backyard, a particularly special find in Lincoln Park and an inviting setting for summer dinners, bonfires and evenings with family and friends. Front facing, the patio offers another place to enjoy the neighborhood, from morning coffee to trick-or-treating in the fall. Upstairs, four of the home’s five bedrooms are together on the second floor. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and ensuite bath with dual vanity and walk-in shower, while three additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath. A full laundry room with sink, folding counter and hanging space is conveniently located on the same level. The finished lower level extends the living space with a large recreation room, kitchenette area and separate office, along with the home’s fifth bedroom and a full bath, creating flexibility for guests, an au pair or additional private living space. Generous storage is incorporated throughout the level. Recent improvements include a new water heater, sump pump and ejector pit pump, a new security system with window and glass-break sensors, and all-new front landscaping. The location puts some of Lincoln Park’s best everyday amenities within an easy walk. Oscar Mayer School is less than half a mile away, while Jonquil Park is just minutes from the front door for the playground or splash pad. Galit, Batter & Berries, Avli Taverna and Whole Foods are all within approximately a 10-minute walk, making dinner out, weekend brunch and everyday errands easy to enjoy without getting in the car. A home that retains the character that makes vintage Lincoln Park architecture so special while delivering the layout, updates and functionality that make city living work exceptionally well! One exterior parking space in the alley is included in the price.
