A 1928 English stone cottage, beautifully reimagined with extensive improvements that blend historic character with timeless luxury. 40 S Lincoln Avenue is just steps from the best of Geneva, yet its setting feels like a private oasis in the heart of town. Offering three bedrooms and three full baths, this exceptional home is filled with top-of-the-line finishes, spa-inspired baths, inviting spaces for everyday living and plenty of room to entertain. A versatile first-floor flex space provides the perfect spot for a home office, family space or quiet retreat, while the living room showcases built-ins and a striking fireplace that adds warmth and character. The dining room, highlighted by gorgeous lighting, creates an inviting setting for friends and family to gather. Every detail has been carefully considered, from heated floors in the baths and four-season sunroom to the beautifully updated kitchen featuring Sub Zero and Wolf, quartz countertops and sophisticated finishes. The home’s original character shines through in details like pocket doors and built-ins, while newly refinished flooring, fresh paint, updated lighting and a reimagined staircase enhance both style and function. Abundant natural light, quiet spaces and extensive updates make this home feel equally refined and livable. Outside, the private setting continues with a paver patio, built-in gas grill and generous outdoor entertaining space surrounded by mature landscaping that creates a wonderful sense of privacy. The detached 2+ car garage offers another surprise with newly finished second-floor space featuring a mini split for year-round heating and cooling, creating incredible flexibility for an exercise studio, home office, media room, creative space or additional hangout area. And then there is the location. An approximately eight minute walk brings you to historic Third Street, with Geneva’s shops, restaurants and Metra station all within easy reach. Historic architecture, modern luxury and an exceptional in-town lifestyle come together beautifully at 40 S Lincoln Avenue. Significant improvements include a new roof and gutters, two new HVAC systems, updated plumbing, tankless water heater, Wolf range, quartz countertops, refinished flooring, updated lighting, landscaping and more.

Chicago’s luxury property market has changed dramatically within the past decade – growing from a small, self-contained specialty, served by a handful of brokers, to a vast and highly competitive marketplace requiring an ever-increasing level of sophistication and reach.

Today, what drives success in the luxury market is not only a skilled and accomplished corps of agents, but also a comprehensive marketing strategy to brand individual listings and reach a relatively diverse audience.

That is why we offer the @Luxury Collection, a sales and marketing program that leverages @properties’ unmatched resources and relationships to meet the needs of Chicago’s luxury property owners. From new-construction in Lincoln Park to landmark mansions in the North Shore, from vintage high-rises along Lake Shore Drive to the newest generation of super-luxury towers, @properties has successfully marketed and sold hundreds of millions of dollars in high-end Chicago real estate.
