Property Description
A modern architectural gem set within the storied landscape of Riverside and featured in Chicago Magazine, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a sophisticated expression of contemporary living thoughtfully integrated into a historic setting. Reimagined in 2010 and renovated in 2023, the home is defined by its airy, light-filled interiors and an open, flowing floor plan tailored to today's lifestyle. A gracious entry foyer immediately establishes a sense of volume and connectivity, offering sightlines across the entire main level. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen anchors the space with a welcoming breakfast bar peninsula with quartz counters throughout stainless steel appliances, and a seamless transition to the separate eating area/dining room, and a new heated, glass-enclosed solarium that extends the living space year-round, ideal for both everyday living and elevated entertaining. Just a few steps beyond, the family room provides a comfortable retreat, with a built-in media center, a dry bar with beverage fridge, and surround sound perfect for relaxing, reading, or unwinding at the end of the day. A striking floating staircase leads to the second level, where the primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, complete with a sitting area, custom built walk-in closet with pocket doors, and a luxurious, spa-inspired bath. A second bedroom, an updated full bath with double sinks, and a lofted office with an abundance of natural light complete this level. The finished lower level expands the home's functionality with a recreation room, a third bedroom, and laundry room. Outdoors, a beautifully landscaped and fully fenced yard, a detached two-car garage and additional storage shed complete this exceptional home. Recent enhancements further elevate the home's livability and efficiency, including a heated, glass-enclosed solarium, a new roof, fence, heat pumps, appliances, basement floor, and the addition of solar panels paired with mini-split systems-delivering modern comfort with an emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed, energy-conscious home in one of the area's most iconic communities.
