2249 N Burling Street, Chicago, IL

An architectural standout in East Lincoln Park, this award-winning residence by dSPACE Studio thoughtfully reimagines a 1979 modernist home with a focus on light, space, and livability. At its center is a striking three-story atrium topped by a pyramidal skylight, filling the home with natural light and framing a sculptural wood and steel staircase with a custom lighting feature designed by Studio Dunn. The floor plan emphasizes clean sight lines and a natural flow between spaces, while the home’s stepped design captures light and sky from multiple angles. Walnut millwork is carried throughout, integrating storage and everyday function with a warm, cohesive aesthetic. The main level offers open-concept living anchored by a sleek stone fireplace and built-in bar. The chef’s kitchen combines thoughtful design with high-performance appliances, including a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Miele dishwasher, and a concealed butler’s pantry with additional appliances and prep space. A glass atrium connects to outdoor living, including a garage rooftop deck with built-in grill, TV, retractable canopy, and surround sound. The second level includes three bedrooms, a family room, and a well-organized laundry room. The top floor is dedicated to a private primary suite with custom built-ins, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath featuring a skylit soaking tub. An adjacent executive office with built-in desk and bookcases opens to a private terrace and includes a wet bar with sink and ice machine. The lower level offers a recreation room, guest bedroom, full bath, and excellent storage. Additional features include custom window coverings, mud room with heated floors, a green roof, high-efficiency mechanicals, snowmelt system, irrigation, heated garage with EV charger, and integrated audio/visual and security. Ideally located near Oz Park, the lakefront, Armitage shopping and dining, and Lincoln Park Schools, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive, design-forward residence in one of Chicago’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
