About this home

This impeccable Federalist-style home, built in the early 1900s, is located on the idyllic, tree-lined block of Pleasant Ave in Chicago's historic North Beverly neighborhood. Over the last few years, it has undergone a complete and stunning transformation. It has been reimagined into a space that possesses today's modern luxuries yet seamlessly blends timeless elegance and original architectural details. This exceptional residence sets a new standard for luxurious living. As you step through the grand entryway, you're immediately captivated by the foyer's timeless elegance. Leaded glass windows, room for seating, and a large coat closet ensure both form and function harmonize seamlessly. Stepping into the impressive 1, 100-square-foot grand living room, you are captivated by its priceless, irreplaceable finishes. This space exudes an air of refined sophistication that features magnificent quarter-sawn white oak paneling and built-in bookcases, crown moldings, stained glass windows, herringbone floors, and a stunning limestone fireplace that serves as a focal point. The original hand-crafted plaster ceiling, with unique inlay details, stands as a unique work of art. There is also a powder room with a marble floor and vanity, elevating the room to a level of unparalleled elegance. The flowing floor plan seamlessly connects the various living areas, creating an inviting atmosphere ideal for both intimate gatherings and lavish entertaining. French doors open to a fully enclosed sunroom framed by windows, providing the perfect setting for an office, reading nook, or sitting area. The gourmet kitchen has custom cabinets, sleek granite countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and beautiful built-ins. The family room is open to the kitchen and offers a comfortable place for hanging out or watching TV. It is situated by the back entrance, mudroom, back staircase, and powder room. The dining room, adorned with beautiful original plaster crown molding, is flanked by windows, creating a welcoming atmosphere for hosting. This incredible home spans over 5, 500 square feet of exceptional living space, above grade, and another approximately 1500 more below grade. With its graceful curves and intricate detailing, the impressive grand staircase leads to the second floor, which features four generous bedrooms, including a primary suite that is an unrivaled oasis of tranquility. No detail was spared, as the second floor also houses a laundry area, another spa-like bath, and a bedroom with a private half bath. The home's top floor provides a versatile space that spans the length and width of the home, perfect for a lavish bedroom, office, or flex area, complete with a half bath. The lower level pays homage to the home's traditional character, with a Scottish foundation featuring hand-cut stone walls, a bar, another full bath, and a large room that could serve as a 6th bedroom, office, or workout room. Meticulously updated with modern amenities, including dual-zoned HVAC, copper plumbing, new custom millwork storm windows, upgraded electrical service, new flat roofs, a 2.5-car garage, and a complete restoration of the architectural elements. This stunning residence sits on a double lot spanning over 0.25 acres, just one block from Metra, and close to a Blue Ribbon School, parks, and clay tennis courts. This home offers a rare opportunity for multi-generational living, with several spaces conducive to home office use. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this exceptional Federalist-style masterpiece provides the epitome of luxury, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a truly remarkable living experience. Enjoy the oversized luscious yard all newly landscaped!
