4231 N Wolcott Avenue, Chicago, IL 60613

A modern classic on a wide and long lot. The meaning of true luxury feels watered down nowadays and if our polished nickel fixtures and heated stairs don’t exemplify both the material quality and lifestyle convenience of refined living, the word might have lost all its meaning. Through grass and Japanese maples, off the heated steps, and past the porch you enter over white oak flooring with a pendant centered above. This vantage point is one of my favorites… but before we continue, let’s talk about the train. We’ve thoughtfully designed a 2.6m home, priced with the train in mind; the home is meticulously insulated to reduce sound. Can you hear it? Sure. Is it louder than the $500,000 savings? Come hear and you be the judge… The substantial limestone fireplace draws your eyes first, but immediately they dart toward the arched butler’s pantry providing a glimpse of what’s to be experienced next. Past the 8′ doors, the powder room, across from the tufted banquette, is the kitchen we couldn’t keep confidential. Wood and off-white skinny shaker cabinets paired with a quartzite island and Wolf & Sub Zero appliances set the foundation for quiet luxury throughout. Guests will marvel at your backsplash before they raise their gaze to the understated hood with pendants on each side. Unique to this home due to the length of the lot is a working pantry with a sink ensuring your kitchen stays free of the everyday appliances of real life. Continue past the family room with a recessed fireplace onto the back porch to enjoy al fresco meals while overlooking your plush yard with stepping stones leading to your 3-car garage with a fireplace. The to-the-side mud room is complete with checkerboard Carrara and travertine with built-ins on each side illuminated by a substantial chandelier that will pique interest at every angle. Go down and the full-level radiant heated floor will keep you warm as you traverse between your sauna and personal cocktail lounge after taking a shower in the en-suite bath. Theatre, guest room, au pair headquarters, in-law suite, you decide how to use the back room suite. The bonus space could be a cold plunge, wine cellar, or laundry – the choice is yours. Head upstairs where you have 4 beds up with 3 baths including a recessed fireplace in the primary suite. Sizable rooms, a jack-and-jill bath, and a stand-up shower in front that’s en-suite. Is it unusual to be enthusiastic about a laundry room? This meticulously designed space, a daily essential, features FOUR state-of-the-art machines, a folding counter, and a working sink, all elegantly divided by a floor-to-ceiling window that seamlessly integrates the outdoors. The primary bath with a skylight and a full window soaking tub is not made for the bashful, but we can always frost it if au naturel isn’t your thing. Enter your personal boutique closet, a spacious sanctuary for your wardrobe. This luxurious haven offers ample room for all your couture collections and fashion treasures, ensuring every piece has its spotlight. Perfect for the discerning fashionista who demands elegance and organization in their dressing space. This North Center location combines the best parts of North Center, Ravenswood, and Lake View while offering easy access to everything Chicago.
