Timeless and turnkey with an incredible outdoor footprint that includes a pool, 545 W. Dickens Ave. is a 5-6 bed/5.5 bath, 6,400-square-foot single-family home located in Chicago's coveted Lincoln School District. Situated on a charming residential stretch of Dickens, this 1880s home's facade has 50-ft-wide frontage that has been expertly maintained to preserve its original character, including turn-of-the-century front doors and updated ironwork. Inside, the entire home was stripped back to the brick to create a one-of-a-kind, custom dwelling for elevated entertaining and modern living. The living spaces are impressively open-concept for the provenance of the home. The entryway opens onto a main level that's designed for entertaining, including a natural light-filled living room with large plank white oak hardwood floors, a distinctive fireplace, and custom, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a large formal dining area with meticulous millwork details and a built-in wet bar and dumbwaiter direct to kitchen, and a polished family room that invites gatherings. (This level also features an ensuite guest bedroom as well as a stylish craft/mud room with custom cabinetry) The second level boasts a large sitting room with a second fireplace that connects to a great room and a designer kitchen (Also easily utilized as a large formal dining area). The great room features a breakfast dining space and a den with a movie screen that drops down from the ceiling, while the light and bright chef's kitchen stuns with custom Arclinea cabinetry, marble countertops, a large island with seating for five, and professional-grade appliances. Both the great room and the kitchen link to a 45' x 28' back deck - more than 1,200 square feet of private outdoor space! - with defined dining and lounging spaces, a pergola, and a pool with a retractable cover and endless swim resistance feature. The top floor presents four total bedrooms (one with yet another gorgeous, wood-burning fireplace), including a large primary bedroom with a custom walk-through closet and a spa-like ensuite bath with a dual vanity, a soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower. But there's more...
