Chicago Gas-Light House

One-of-a-kind transformation of a classic Chicago brick two-flat into a custom-designed single-family residence in the heart of Northcenter. Affectionately known by neighbors as the “Gas-Light House,” this distinctive 3-level home blends early 1900s craftsmanship with exceptional modern upgrades.

Display your prized collectibles or even your vintage motorcycles!

The open-concept main level offers generous living and dining spaces, complete with a bar/office nook.

You are welcomed into the dramatic two-story entry gallery featuring a 20-foot exposed brick wall and hand-crafted steel staircase – a showcase of timeless masonry and custom design.

The chef’s kitchen is truly exceptional: a 10-burner Lynx Star Pro range with double oven, stainless Viking commercial-grade double hood, Sub-Zero refrigerator and separate freezer, granite-topped center island, custom buffet, and butler’s pantry.

A hidden powder room with Art Deco flair completes the main level.

Upper Level

Upstairs, the front bedroom is bathed in natural light and served by a full vintage Kohler bath featuring a clawfoot soaking tub.

The rear of the upper level is dedicated to the luxurious primary suite, with sound-absorbing upholstered walls, built-in surround sound, and a spa-inspired bath with Jacuzzi tub and glass-enclosed shower-featured on HGTV’s “Love That Bath”. The custom walk-in closet offers extensive storage with accent lighting and built-ins.

Lower Level

The lower level includes a private home gym, guest bedroom, full bath, and a bright, well-appointed laundry room with high-end appliances, cabinetry, utility sink, and hanging space.

At the rear of the home, the stunning family room addition pays homage to Prairie and Arts & Crafts architecture-with rich wood-paneled walls, beamed ceilings, gas fireplace, stained glass windows, and period-perfect lighting with glass doors open to a private patio.

Luxurious Private Patio

A beautifully landscaped brick-floored patio beneath a soaring pergola, is ideal for outdoor entertaining. Enjoy a built-in grilling station with a stainless Lynx rotisserie infrared grill, storage, and a peaceful koi pond.

The heated 2019-built garage is more than just a parking space: it includes a lofted storage level, workshop power supply, fire-resistant Hardy board siding with wood shake accents, and reclaimed original windows and doors.

Mechanically superb, the home features dual-zone HVAC, new windows, a rubber roof, gutter heaters, upgraded drainage, and a comprehensive flood protection system-all sure to impress your inspector.

Located on one of Northcenter’s most coveted blocks, just steps to award-winning Bell School, Lane Tech, parks, restaurants, shops, theaters, public transit, Wrigley Field, Lake Michigan, and the North Branch Riverwalk. This home would be extraordinary anywhere-but here, it’s exceptional. Come experience it for yourself.

Also available for Rent at $10,000/month.
