First time ever on the market and recipient of the American Institute of Architects' Distinguished Building Award in 1998, this truly one-of-a-kind contemporary live/work space on the border of Bucktown and Wicker Park was designed by acclaimed architect Wheeler Kearns. Custom built for the owner with form + function in mind, this double lot duplex architectural stunner houses both office and personal residence with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, powder room, and wet bar/coffee station within towering eleven-foot raw concrete ceilings, walls and pigmented floors with exposed industrial chic ductwork and lighting throughout. The street side of the property serves as a fully functioning creative office (four large offices, library, conference room and dual seating areas with windows outfitted with both blackout + regular shades) with the north side (or back side) being the private residence. Both spaces showcase floating steel staircases and their own custom furniture designed to complement the dramatic and oversized MDF and steel pivot doors that ingeniously divide and unite the spaces. Groundbreaking design and use of space. It can be kept as-is as an ideal live/work situation for an architect, photographer or other creative agency, as it has served for the last thirty years, or easily converted to a sprawling full single-family home or one very cool commercial space. The options are endless and the design timeless. Zoned B3-2 and ideally located steps from the CTA Damen Station, I-94, the 606 and prime dining and shopping on Milwaukee and Damen Avenues. Private garden oasis with mature landscaping, fire pit, seating area, and detached two-car garage with storage room and ability to build up. Loads of "wow" factor and value-add. WELCOME HOME.
