What I love about the home

This historic Chicago home has carefully restored authentic architectural details combined with state-of-the-art modern convenience. This turn of the last century landmark greystone built in 1894 has 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 beautifully renovated baths. The home has been fully renovated in the past 4 years, yet maintains all original woodwork, including a 4 inch thick pocket door, 6-panel doors for bedrooms and bathrooms, transom windows above the original bedroom doors, refinished hardwood floors, baseboards, door framing and custom ceiling molding and beams. What sets this home apart from the other beautiful restorations in Kenwood is the professionally designed and installed home automation system that is included in the price of the house. This Control 4 ?smart home? system automates the televisions, music, lighting scenes, alarm system, garage door, heating and cooling and much more for each individual room. Each room in the house (except the living room where the coved ceiling was left undisturbed) has the highest quality commercial in-ceiling speakers, custom lighting, high speed wireless internet and all necessary wiring for televisions. The home has 7 top of the line plasma televisions, plus a 96 inch retractable in-ceiling movie screen. All televisions and speakers are available for purchase. When you leave the home, you need only touch the control panel to turn off every light in the house. At the airport, you can check your smart phone to make sure the garage door is closed. On the beach in Cancun, you can check on your systems in the house. The media room is the perfect spot for a Super Bowl party, yet you?ll be able to see the game from rooms all over the house as well. There are even speakers in the beautiful garden out back.
