Description

Meticulously reimagined one-of-a-kind grey stone in Chicago’s sought-after Andersonville, sited on an extra-long city lot and anchored by an expansive, professionally landscaped private yard with heated pool and hot tub. The exterior preserves the original 1896 brick, artfully restored to blend historic character with a refreshed, timeless grey stone facade. Inside, no expense was spared – designer finishes and best-in-class systems throughout. Two state-of-the-art home theaters, an 11-zone Sonos audio system with media servers, and whole-home Brilliant smart controls (video intercom + voice control) deliver effortless automation. Security includes a 12-camera Ring system fully integrated with Brilliant for comprehensive video and motion monitoring. The chef’s kitchen is a culinary masterpiece: Miele steam oven, built-in Miele espresso w/ warming drawer, Wolf convection oven and integrated gas cooktop, and fully integrated Gaggenau refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher behind custom European cabinetry.
