1615 W North Ave, Chicago, IL 60622

The circa 1913 industrial facade of this 10,600 SF loft-style home on a 58' x 100' lot in the middle of Bucktown Wicker Park gives no clue as to the magical transformation inside. As you enter you feel that you have left the city behind-your home as the ultimate private sanctuary. Large and luminous spaces with soaring ceilings and windows wrap around a tranquil and totally private courtyard on both levels. Unprecedented spacious room sizes and adaptable spaces on the ground level can be used for multiple home offices, gym, playroom, guest room, private gallery, entertaining-whatever you can imagine. The main living spaces are on the second floor with a dual zone kitchen and enormous great room with windows facing the light-filled courtyard. In addition to the oversized windows, so much light streams in from a 36' long skylight that you feel as if you are outdoors. The kitchen with its custom cabinetry, Wolf range, two Bosch dishwashers, multiple Subzero refrigerators and freezers plus a unique British Aga range won a national award. A large and sunny terrace opens off this space, leading to a fully equipped lofty guesthouse that also has its own entrance from the street, perfect not only for guests, in-laws, live-in or family, but as a rental or AirBnB. The oversized dining room facing the street can accommodate multiple tables and other functions. Three large ensuite bedrooms, including a primary suite with dual walk-in closets, built in cabinetry and award-winning bath, laundry and a library den open off the great room. On top of all this, there is a working greenhouse on the roof with skyline views, three interior garage spaces, and 5100 SF basement for storage. B1-3 Zoning. Close to 606 Trail, parks, 90/94, Blue Line, Metra, restaurants and shops.
