2026 NORTH KENMORE AVENUE

This sensational triple lot home has been masterfully renovated and designed to perfection by its well known designerowner to perfection! The significant home, itself, sits on two lots, with the third lot as a full south side yard. A rare, renovated coach house has been connected to the main home by a modern glass atrium, creating a huge extension, doubling the livable square footage, with its own kitchen, three bedrooms, and a lofted family room. Through the atrium, one of the most amazing features of this home can be accessed: an original stone root cellar that now functions as a wine and tasting room and space for dinner parties that one dreams of in magazines. Wide and gracious room sizes allow for easy entertaining amidst the perfectly restored period styling, coupled with hip finishes that are totally today. From the moment you enter the gate, you will notice the Belgian stone and perfect restoration of the facade and the timeless entry. Dramatic by any measure, the breathtaking entry displays the art of craftsmanship, and the three story staircase has been meticulously recreated from the home’s original with hand lacquered banister and balusters. The beautiful formal living and dining spaces are outstanding and the entire main floor lends itself to large parties or family gatherings. The all white kitchen offers top of the line appliances, and is completely open to the great room that offers customized solutions to storage with beautiful built ins. This space opens up to the grassy side yard and offers direct access to the charming separately accessed office, perfect for client meetings while at home. Three generous bedrooms are located on the second level, including the lavish primary suite with sensational closets and an over-the-top marble detailed bath as well as access to a private terrace. A third level features four additional bedrooms as well as a study space. The lower level offers a large recreational space, a play/craft room, and ample storage. The coach house allows for three more bedrooms, additional living space, plus Garage parking for five cars. This is truly a one-of-a-kind home with no detail spared or overlooked, and would be incredibly difficult to recreate. Located on a fantastic Lincoln Park block, steps to wonderful shopping and dining on Armitage.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD:

LINCOLN PARK

Lincoln Park residents have it all – from the arts to its famed zoo –right in their backyard.

The neighborhood includes quiet tree-lined residential blocks, top-rated schools, DePaul University and two major museums in addition to the Lincoln Park Zoo, one of the country’s oldest zoos. There’s also a wide array of entertainment, eateries and hotspots.

An evening in Lincoln Park might include seeing a play at the acclaimed Steppenwolf Theatre and dining at a Michelin-rated restaurant or a quaint neighborhood café. Sports fans will find as many dive bars with the game on as foodies will find fine-dining restaurants with al-fresco seating.

Lincoln Park is just as delightful by day. Residents are just a walk, jog or bike ride away from the lakefront and North Avenue Beach; parks; farmers’ markets; festivals; and countless shops, ranging from upscale boutiques on Armitage to larger retailers at the Clybourn Corridor.

Smaller townhomes and vintage condominiums offer homebuyers a more affordable entry into Lincoln Park, while prices rapidly escalate for rehabs and new construction. Buyers around DePaul University can find loft condominiums in converted factories and warehouses. On its eastern edge, Lincoln Park features beautiful vintage brownstones along with high-rises with breathtaking views.

Located just two miles from downtown, Lincoln Park offers residents a quick commute to work. Public transportation abounds, with the CTA’s Brown and Red lines serving the neighborhood in addition to several bus routes and Lake Shore Drive.
