Property Description

An extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Chicago history-this meticulously reimagined 1913 firehouse was transformed in 2016 into a one-of-a-kind luxury residence in the heart of Lincoln Square. From the moment you enter, you're greeted by soaring ceilings, dramatic scale, and an abundance of natural light streaming through oversized windows. The expansive main level is designed for both grand entertaining and refined everyday living, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces with a stunning 20-foot accordion glass wall that opens to a professionally landscaped private yard. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece-an industrial-inspired culinary space outfitted with premium Viking appliances, including a 6-burner double oven commercial-grade range, generous pantry storage, and an oversized dining area ideal for hosting. A striking family room anchored by the original firehouse door-restored in iconic fire-engine red-serves as a bold architectural centerpiece, while thoughtfully designed bonus spaces offer flexibility for a lounge, mudroom, or additional entertaining areas. Upstairs, the home offers four spacious bedrooms, a secondary living area, and a well-appointed laundry room. The primary suite is a private retreat featuring sun-drenched southern exposure, dual custom California Closets, and a dedicated office space. Refined finishes throughout include radiant heated concrete floors, rich walnut accents, and custom design elements that pay homage to the building's historic character while delivering modern luxury and comfort. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a low-maintenance landscaped yard complete with turf, pavers, and a cedar-and-steel privacy fence-perfect for summer evenings and effortless entertaining. Ideally located within walking distance to top-rated schools including McPherson Elementary and Lycee Francais, as well as the Damen Brown Line, Ravenswood Metra, and the vibrant shops, dining, and culture of Lincoln Square. This is more than a home-it's a rare architectural statement offering history, design, and luxury in one unforgettable residence.
