A true urban estate in Budlong Woods-this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home spans four oversized city lots and offers a rare blend of luxury, space, and thoughtful design inside and out. The main level is designed for effortless living and entertaining, featuring a spectacular kitchen by Vesta Design, where form meets function with top-of-the-line finishes and thoughtful detail-including Wolf and Miele appliances. You'll also find a spacious family room and an impressive sunroom with soaring skylights that flood the space with natural light. A well-appointed mudroom with custom built-ins connects the attached garage to the heart of the home, while a large storage area provides ample space for sports gear and seasonal essentials. The second floor features four spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a sitting area and private rooftop terrace overlooking the expansive backyard. All bathrooms are outfitted with heated floors, creating a spa-like experience throughout. Downstairs, the finished basement adds even more versatility, offering a recreation room with fireplace, a dedicated playroom, a full bathroom, an oversized laundry room, and abundant storage. Outside, the landscaped, sustainable gardens provide a peaceful urban retreat-complete with a charming she shed for creative escapes or quiet moments. All this with a large two car garage ready wired for your electric car, dual zone heat and air and loads of updates done over the last 10 years. This extraordinary property is a rare opportunity to own a private, park-like setting in the city-just minutes from Lincoln Square, the North Branch Trail, and all the North Side has to offer.
