Property Description
Architecturally significant and truly one-of-a-kind, this Bucktown residence offers exceptional live/work potential on a 24 x 80 corner lot. Originally a former machine shop, the property was reimagined through a complete redevelopment by Von Weise Associates in 2016, thoughtfully transformed into a single-family home that seamlessly blends industrial roots with refined modern living. Executed with full permits and meticulous attention to detail, the result is a residence unlike anything else on the market. This 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home offers a highly flexible layout anchored by an expansive chef's kitchen featuring a dramatic oversized mahogany island, custom cabinetry, a built-in coffee station with instant hot water, and a vintage Comstock-Castle commercial range with four burners, integrated flat-top griddle, and professional-grade hood system. Further equipped with a Bosch 800 Series built-in oven, speed oven, and Sub-Zero refrigerator, the kitchen is designed for serious cooking and entertaining, complemented by generous prep space and seamless connection to a sun-filled four-season greenhouse featuring radiant-heated limestone floors and direct access to outdoor living space. The professionally equipped kitchen has served as a culinary backdrop for acclaimed chefs and food media productions, further reflecting the home's unique creative character and entertaining appeal. Upstairs, both bedrooms offer ensuite baths, including a primary suite that lives like a private retreat. The suite features custom built-ins, architectural ceiling lines, a wood-burning fireplace, an integrated projector and retractable screen, and a dedicated coffee and tea station with instant hot water. The spa-inspired bath is anchored by a hinoki wood soaking tub crafted from Japanese cypress, with radiant heated floors that add year-round comfort. Clean modern finishes, abundant natural light, and thoughtful design create a refined balance of comfort, privacy, and functionality. Additional bedrooms are generously sized and well appointed. The lower level serves as a versatile fourth bedroom while functioning equally well as a gym, music or art studio, or private workspace. A rare first-floor suite with its own private entrance and ensuite full bath is elevated by soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and an expansive open layout, creating a true loft-style environment ideal for a home office, studio, wellness space, or guest suite. The level of separation this space offers is rarely found in single-family homes. Designed with both lifestyle and functionality in mind, the home features multi-zone HVAC, high-capacity electrical service, and ethernet wiring throughout with a dedicated server setup, supporting true live/work flexibility. Rich textures including exposed brick, warm wood tones, curated lighting, and original custom hardwood floors with intricate inlay detailing create a distinctive and elevated feel rarely found in more traditional homes. Additional highlights include a two-car garage with generous ceiling height and a Level 2 EV charging station, two outdoor deck spaces, beautifully maintained gardens and lush landscaping, a full security system, irrigation, and numerous thoughtful upgrades throughout. Roof, windows, and major systems were all addressed as part of the 2016 renovation. Ideally located in the heart of Bucktown on Wabansia, just steps from the Damen corridor, the 606/Bloomingdale Trail, and moments from Wicker Park's renowned dining, shopping, and nightlife. This is Bucktown at its most creative. A home that has never been replicated and never will be. A truly singular architectural offering, and a rare opportunity that will not come again.
