The Location
Welcome to Lincoln Park, one of Chicago?s finest and most desirable neighborhoods. Its residents enjoy all that the city has to offer. Fullerton and North Avenue Beach, the Park, and ?Theatre on the Park? are the perfect setting to enjoy Lake Michigan sunrises year round. Meander through Lincoln Park Zoo, a national recognized urban reserve. The lush tree-lined streets compliment a mix of 19th century stone mansions, redbrick rowhouses, single-family cottages, and contemporary condominiums. Halsted and Armitage Streets are the center of a lively shopping and entertainment district with boutiques, fine dining, and local pubs. It is also the home of the DePaul University, the nation?s largest private collegiate institution. The surrounding neighborhood is known as Sheffield Gardens, an intimate community with many lovely single-family homes.
The Home
2318 N. Greenview is nestled on an intimate street in the Sheffield Gardens District of Lincoln Park. As you approach the property, notice the peak roof and the ornate cornice framing the classic brick Victorian originally built in 1890 and since completely renovated. The wrought iron gate and front garden invite you to enter through the front door framed by custom designed leaded glass.
The Living Room is spacious and light with oversized windows on two walls. The stately wood-burning fireplace is a focal point of the room surrounded by custom cabinetry. The scale of the room allows for multiple seating areas. The Dining Room, overlooking the Living Room, easily accommodates seating for more formal events, as well as large scale entertaining. A lovely staircase separates the more formal and informal areas of the home.
The Kitchen is outfitted with sleek flat panel white cabinets, granite counter tops, and new stainless steel appliances. It works well for the gourmet chefs, and is functional for daily meal preparation. There is plenty of space for a casual seating around the island as well as a separate breakfast table. A Powder Room is nicely positioned in a side hallway.
French doors in the Kitchen open to the private Deck, Patio, and Garden. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully landscaped, this botanical sanctuary is a perfect urban retreat. With full south and west exposures, the conditions are perfect for a garden. The two mature trees also offer a canopy filtering the sun on a summer afternoon. This Garden is one of the featured stops on the Annual Sheffield Garden Walk.
The second level has three full bedrooms with high cathedral ceilings, skylights, and oversized rooms. The Master Suite was recently updated to include an amazing Spa and Walk-In Closet. The soaring ceiling in the bedroom area and the Balcony overlooking the Yard are private, yet light and airy. Having two additional family bedrooms on the same level is a plus.
On the lower level is an expansive Family Room/Play Room with high ceilings, new carpeting, and built-ins. A fourth Bedroom with a full Bath is well designed as a private guest suite, au pair quarters, or an in-home office. The Laundry/Utility Room offers additional storage and the lower level has a large storage room as well.
This home is a short walk to most of Lincoln Park?s amenities. Restaurants, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks and more are a short walk away while the tree-lined section of Greenview provides a neighborhood feel. Excellent Public and Private Schools are close by. Public Transportation, Lake Shore Drive, and the Kennedy Expressway all are accessible.
