Design-forward, intrinsically modern and built to last, this West Town single-family home with a full lot side yard has a strong presence from the street thanks to its brick construction, oversized windows, and manicured landscaping. Its special zoning variance affords a large front deck, privacy wall and attached heated garage with a spectacular yard for alfresco fun and great light exposure. This 5 bed/5 bath (3 full, 2 half) custom built home features first-class finishes from end to end and a state-of-the-art infrastructure for seamless living. The main level begins with an open-concept living and dining room that features herringbone hardwood floors, high ceilings and a gas fireplace. From here, the dining room connects to a presentation-worthy, custom chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero/Wolf/Miele appliances, a waterfall Quartz island with comfortable seating for 4, and a built-in banquette. The kitchen opens onto an inviting family room with access to a 460 square foot back deck with a pergola, a privacy wall and grilling area. Upstairs, the second level has two secondary bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bath and a polished primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a statement en-suite marble bath with a dual vanity, a soaking tub and steam shower with designer light fixtures. The top floor is dramatic entertaining space with a bonus family room with custom built-ins, a full bar with fridge, and access to a 250 square foot covered roof deck with outdoor fireplace and great skyline view. The finished basement boasts a rec/media room and two additional bedrooms (currently styled as a playroom and a handsome WFH office). This home's private side courtyard is really special, and comes complete with a paver patio, a pergola-covered lounge, a built-in fire pit, and a custom, artificial GroTurf chipping/putting green for polishing up your short game. Additional details and amenities include custom paint and window treatments, designer lighting and wallcoverings, a smart home AV system for lighting/music/TV/security powered by a Telco homerun room, exterior AV/power, recently upgraded HVAC/water systems, aluminum-wrapped decking, a maintenance-free irrigation system, a heightened privacy fence, and an attached, heated two-car garage with two electric charging stations. Close to fine dining and boutique shopping in Wicker Park, 1850 W. Race Ave. is a singular property for the homeowner who wants turnkey living and an epic indoor-outdoor footprint.
