1930 N Howe Street
Chicago, IL 60614

Classically designed and beautifully appointed, 1930 N. Howe St. is a luxurious 8,200+-square-foot, 5 bed/5.2 bath single-family home in the heart of Lincoln Park with seamless design details, a modern floor plan, and five spectacular private outdoor spaces. Situated on an oversized 5,500-square-foot parcel, this impressive residence stuns from the street thanks to meticulously manicured hedges that run the length of the 44-foot-wide lot and a stately limestone facade with artisan details. Four levels in total, the lower level begins with a spacious reception hall with marble floors, beautiful crown molding, and a curvaceous statement staircase. Here, first-class finishes and fixtures continue across a handsome library with a fireplace and built-in bookshelves, an 850+ bottle wine room, a media room, and a guest bedroom with ensuite bath that's perfect for extended-stay guests or an au pair. Above, this home's main level reveals a series of highly refined spaces for relaxed living and elevated entertaining: a grand living room with hardwood floors and a marble-fronted fireplace that spans the width of the house, a formal dining room with French doors and a cove-lit gold leaf ceiling, a custom kitchen, and a fashionable family room with an ornate limestone fireplace. This home's exquisite chef's kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, granite countertops, Viking/Sub-Zero/Miele appliances, a large center island with dine-in seating, a walk-in pantry, and a sunny breakfast room that can easily accommodate 8-10 for more informal dining. Plus, the kitchen affords immediate access to the bluestone south terrace, side garden and lawn - and an incredibly scaled roof deck that lives above the home's 3.5-car garage. (Combined, the main terrace and deck can easily accommodate cocktail parties for 100 people.) The bedroom level presents three gorgeous secondary bedrooms (any of which could easily transition into a second home office), and a luxurious primary suite overlooking the gardens that features yet another fireplace, an octagonal dressing area with custom walk-in closets, and a marble ensuite bath that finds definition from a dual vanity, an oversize steam shower, a jacuzzi tub, and a private WC. Better still, this home's top level presents a spectacular penthouse level with endless possibilities and features wood floors, a coffered ceiling, and a granite wet bar, plus two rooftop terraces with breathtaking skyline views. Additional callout details include designer and antique light fixtures, custom wallcoverings and window treatments, radiantly heated floors on the lower level and in the garage, a proper downstairs laundry, touch panel five-zone AV, thermostatically controlled HVAC, security system, and professional landscaping. Located within Chicago's preeminent school district, steps from world-class shopping and dining on Armitage Ave. and Halsted St., and a block from the tennis courts and beautiful green spaces at Oz Park, 1930 N. Howe St. is truly one-of-a-kind.
