2223 N Orchard B

Iconic 3 bed, 3 bath brick townhouse with a private patio located next to Lincoln Park's popular Oz Park. Designed by Marcel Freides - an acclaimed Chicago architect best known for designing contemporary homes in the 1970s and '80s, often incorporating large skylights and central atriums to create "light wells" - this 2800-sq-ft home is a testament to his best work and has been thoughtfully updated to uphold its genesis. The main level features a spacious living/dining room with hardwood floors and an exposed brick wall and a fireplace that lives beneath a three-story atrium for amazing natural light, a full bath hidden behind a paneled wall, kitchen with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances including a wine fridge, colorful backsplash, and area for a breakfast table. The living room connects to a 360-sq-ft plush courtyard with brick walls for privacy. The floating staircase (another Freides hallmark) links to the second level which has a glassed-in home office, primary suite with a spacious bedroom, a custom walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with dual vanity, linen shelves, and an oversized shower. The third level features a family room with built-in bookshelves and a desk (easily converted back to a bedroom), a guest bedroom, a full bath with a sauna, and a laundry room. Additional callouts include custom paint and window treatments, era-appropriate fixtures and lighting, sensible storage, garage parking, and low assessments. Close to Oz Park and the first-class shopping and dining along Armitage Avenue and Halsted Street, 2223 N. Orchard St., Townhouse B, is a special piece of Chicago's architectural history.
