Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from April 12, 2024
Turnkey and timeless by design, 1903 N. Howe St. is a statement-making, single-family home with quality construction and a footprint that supports everyday living and effortless entertaining. Located on one of the chicest residential blocks in Lincoln Park, this spectacular 5 bed/4.5 bath, 6,600-square-foot home stuns from the street courtesy of a stately limestone facade, recessed windows, and thoughtful landscaping. A design-build by renowned Metzler Hull Development, the main floor flaunts an exquisite foyer with marble flooring, a formal living room with high ceilings, modern crown molding, and a dramatic stone fireplace, and a dining room with herringbone walnut floors and an elegant chandelier. The main floor also features a striking chef's kitchen with custom oak cabinetry, stone countertops, professional-grade appliances, and a standalone breakfast area with built-in, banquette seating. The family room lives at the back of the house, features a second fireplace, and affords access to a 18' x 16' sunken patio with fountain and a 20' x 19' sundeck with pergola and grilling station that sits above the home's attached, heated, two-car garage. (Garage is accessible from both the main and lower levels of the home, quite a rarity.) Upstairs, the second level presents two secondary bedrooms with large closets, a full bath with two vanities, an upstairs laundry, and a luxe primary suite. The primary bedroom is spacious, receives excellent natural light, and boasts beautiful built-ins, a fireplace, a large walk-in closet, and a lovely ensuite bath with dual vanity, a makeup counter, and a glass-encased steam shower. The top floor features a penthouse solarium with a wet bar, lounge and dining space, a third-floor bedroom with balcony, and access to a 20' x 19' roof deck with skyline views. Plus, this home's lower level features a bonus family/media room with a full bar including an ice maker, a wine fridge, and a beverage fridge, standalone wine storage, a fifth bedroom, a playroom or gym, and abundant storage. Additional details and amenities include custom draperies throughout, a curated collection of designer lighting, custom stair runners, a dumbwaiter, Crestron smart home capabilities, and decorative privacy fencing. With a prime position in Lincoln Park that's close to downtown and the lakefront, not to mention walking distance to Oz Park and world-class dining/shopping along Halstead St. and Armitage Ave., 1903 N. Howe St. is luxury living for the uncompromising homeowner.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDon’t go to lp if you care about your education. There are some AMAZING teachers but only 1/6 of your teachers will be good. A lot of my time at school was not spent learning or doing anything. There is a lack of structure and nothing is enforced, which was technically a benefit, but also had bad effects. There are pros and cons and I have very mixed feelings about my experience at Lincoln park. I felt like I had a lot of freedom but the school itself feels so much like prison. Many many issues with schedules, the actual schedule itself is terrible because its the same 8 classes everyday. Ive had both 3rd and 7th period lunch and it was miserable having to be starving all day. It feels very self directed and you can do whatever you want. THERE ARE CONSTANTLY SCANDALS AND INCIDENTS. I find it comedic and entertaining at this point but there are so many things going on. Lincoln park IS a fun high school but only if you are social and have friends. Administration is really just lacking in so many areas. This school is A JOKEEE but I love it. Hate it tho. Idk. I wouldn’t want to go to lane or jones or anywhere else though!!!!!Other Review1y ago
