Property details

About 1646 N Leavitt St

Once in a lifetime opportunity to own a true urban oasis with a majestic renovated greystone on a 104'x126' vast city compound with a charming coach house overlooking a picturesque garden in the desirable Bucktown neighborhood. This breathtaking dwelling was meticulously restored to celebrate the original fretwork, cove moldings, oval leaded glass windows, ceiling medallions, oak fireplaces with antique mantels, original tiles, and oak mirror in the entryway. The modern steel and glass additions of a jaw dropping solarium off the side of the home, the glass rear staircase (fabricated by the company that made the famous "Bean" in Millennium Park), and the sleek chef's kitchen are a masterclass in juxtaposition to the intricate original details showcasing the history of this 1896 abode which was brought into the 21st century. Greeted by a stately exterior with relief carvings and gas lamps, a gracious foyer welcomes you into a sunny double parlor living room with original pocket doors separating the formal dining room which boasts a double sided original hutch with curved beveled glass and a custom chandelier by artist Lucy Slivinski made from a tree on the property. Legitimate chef's kitchen with commercial grade appliances, unique natural stone countertops, pizza oven, room for a large table, and fresh produce from the property's variety of fruit trees, vegetable garden, and delicious honey from the bee hives on the rare urban rooftop garden. The heart of the home is the extraordinary glass atrium solarium off of the kitchen which transports you from an urban environment to being immersed in nature with an indoor koi pond and a remarkable backdrop of blooming scenic landscaping. The staircase up to the 2nd level features a wood paneled art gallery to hang your favorites with picture molding. Original fretwork has been meticulously restored and repositioned on this level to find awe-inspiring 19th century craftsmanship at every turn. Beautiful 2nd floor family room with original display shelving cabinet to anchor the room. Large primary suite boasts pendants which are works of art made from silk chrysalises, a large sitting room with curved glass windows and original fireplace, custom-built-ins, large walk-in closet with custom built oval jewelry cabinet, and a zen inspired bathroom with stunning natural stone oversized shower, and antique fixtures such as a Chinese soaking tub, vanity, pendants and door for a tranquil spa-like experience. Two-more bedrooms with a shared en-suite bathroom complete the 2nd level. The lower level features radiant heated flooring, 2 additional bedrooms, a full bathroom with steam shower, laundry, a dog wash station, and abundant storage. There is an extra 2BR/2BA apartment on the basement level with its own entrance and a kitchen with high end Sub Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances ideal for au-pair or in-law suite. The home is equipped with an elevator which goes all the way to the rooftop level (this renders the house fully wheelchair accessible) for a special walk through a "garden in the sky" professionally landscaped by Intrinsic landscaping with a drip irrigation system with native perennials and bee hives producing the most delicious diverse honey. The rear of the home has a doggie door leading to a smaller fenced in dog yard, a firepit, a large patio with an amazing Zanzibar door as the backdrop on the 2.5 car garage. Parking pad on the side of the charming 1874 coach house known to house celebrities filming in Chicago. This beloved coach house was picked up from behind the house next door and moved to its current location with the vast front yard and features original pine floors, wood burning fireplace, updated kitchen with Carrera Marble countertops, 2 bedrooms, 2 renovated bathrooms, and a lower level family room with another Zanzibar door. The magical yard is filled with intoxicating blooms from Magnolia trees, and includes apple trees, peach trees, raspberries, and gooseberries.
