Situated in Chicago’s historic Graceland West neighborhood, this timeless estate, listed for $3.449 million by Tim Salm of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, merges vintage Victorian architectural details with contemporary, high-caliber finishes. With six bedrooms and 5½ bathrooms, the abode spans 6,400 square feet across three stories of living space.
Local architectural firm Raino Ogden Architects and interior design studio ML Design, winner of Top Design Season 1, collaborated on a gut remodel and an expansion of the property, incorporating an expansive front deck with a glass railing overlooking the front yard.
As they set foot in the residence, visitors are ushered through a grand entry hall with a floor-to-ceiling walnut wall and hidden doors leading to the powder room and coat closet.
They are then led to a sprawling living room with 10½-foot-high ceilings, wide-plank floors, gallery walls and a connecting entrance to the dining room. Here, homeowners can enjoy abundant natural light from two walls of windows and a meticulously designed chef’s kitchen with stone countertops, a spacious walk-in pantry with a built-in desk and storage, high-gloss white cabinetry, professional appliances and a middle island extending to an eight-seat wooden breakfast table.
Bordering the kitchen, a well-endowed family room touts a low-profile fireplace and an adjoining entrance to a covered terrace with lounge and dining areas, a vast back patio and a yard with a second lounge, privacy walls and a tree swing. Professional landscaping by acclaimed firm Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects transformed the lot with elements like an Aspen tree-lined front walkway, commercial-grade turf and an in-ground sprinkler system.
The second floor houses three bedrooms, two bathrooms, the primary suite and a children’s study with a fireman’s pole. The home’s luxurious primary bedroom features an office with two built-in workstations and a skylight, a sun-drenched room with floating bookshelves and a sloped ceiling, a balcony with a spiral staircase leading to the back patio, a bespoke dressing room and a marble-clad en suite bathroom with a makeup station, dual vanities, a walk-in shower and a soaking tub.
The third floor boasts a spacious rec room, oversize windows and skylights, a full bathroom and an additional bedroom with a walk-in closet. The lower level, designed for entertaining, encompasses a 750-bottle wine cellar, a family room with a wet bar, a gaming area, a fitness room, an additional bathroom with a steam shower, a craft room and a sixth bedroom.
The residence also includes a custom mudroom, upstairs and lower-level laundry rooms, embedded speakers and LED lighting throughout and a detached two-car garage with a sliding barn door that doubles as an entertaining area.
