2436 N Surrey Court, Chicago, IL

Set on coveted Surrey Court in Lincoln Park, this exceptional 5+ bedroom residence sits on an oversized 30′ x 140′ lot, maintaining its original extra-wide footprint. The home is the result of a deeply intentional redesign, where the current owners invested in a fully customized transformation-creating a seamless dialogue between 4500+ sqft of interior & 2500+ sqft of exterior living that evolves with the seasons. Rooted in the architectural pedigree of renowned Chicago architect Marcel Freides, originally reimagined in 2016 by Mastro & Skylar, and elevated to the next level in 2022 by Jaffe Architecture in co-collaboration with designers VerStraight Design and Nanette Mortel, the residence blends timeless design with modern luxury and meticulous craftsmanship. Perfectly positioned to capture sunlight from every angle, an incredible number of expansive windows invite natural light and gentle breezes to flow throughout the home, while framing views of the beautifully matured landscape from every level. Sunlight pours into every level through a dramatic 25-foot skylit atrium showcasing a sculptural contemporary open-riser staircase that anchors the home. A formal living room, generous dining area for 16, plus a cozy family room off the kitchen create versatile spaces for living and entertaining. The Arclinea Italian oversized kitchen features large dining area and a convenient office nook-perfect for a household hub. Features include Cristallo Quartzite countertops, a double-thick island, top-tier Viking, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances. The lower-level family room is thoughtfully positioned above average grade, featuring oversized windows and a glass wall of double doors that cascade to a bluestone patio and grassy yard, continuing the home’s intentional balance of indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, four bedrooms are filled with natural light, while the primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, spa bath, and serene treetop views. Outdoor living is further enhanced by a private rooftop deck with IPE decking, fully equipped outdoor kitchen, gas fireplace, integrated planting beds, and complete privacy-no neighboring rooftop decks in sight. Professionally designed landscaping, mature plantings, and bluestone hardscaping complete the home’s grounds. Mechanical systems and appliances are thoughtfully updated, including newer HVAC units, roof, and hot water tanks, along with recently serviced kitchen appliances, ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the home. Located within the Oscar Mayer School District on an idyllic, tree-lined street, this one-of-a-kind residence combines architectural pedigree, meticulous craftsmanship, and a seamless connection between interior and outdoor living
