This five-bedroom home in the Old Town neighborhood of Chicago is located on nearly three lots and holds architectural significance. It contains a 150-year-old reimagined “fire cottage” from the rebuild after the Great Chicago Fire. On the main level is a foyer with curved plaster walls, a walnut-paneled library with a fireplace, a mezzanine, piano room and a dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows. The west wing of the home features a kitchen created by SML with a glass panel that peers into the wine cellar below. The second floor has the primary bedroom with custom walk-in closets, an oversized bathroom with an open shower, teak ceiling, and skylights, heated flooring and a separate water closet, and a private sitting room with an adjacent home office. The third-floor attic space contains a private study and another room that could be a home office. Over the glass bridge is the family wing with two bedroom suites, each with a reading loft. The lower level encompasses the game and media room, wine cellar, laundry room and another full bathroom. Near the garden is a separate coach house with lofted bedroom spaces, a bathroom and a kitchen with a NanaWall that opens to the garden. This home is completed by an outdoor space with a private walled garden that features espalier pear trees, concord grape vines, arctic kiwi and a large roof deck above a two-and-a-half car garage.
