In Chicago's coveted Graceland West neighborhood, steps from the vibrant Southport Corridor, architecture and artistry converge in this completely reimagined, masterfully crafted residence by Athens Construction. Drawing inspiration from the city's greatest design traditions-Art Deco, Prairie, Arts & Crafts, transitional, and contemporary-it distills these influences into a single, striking statement of sophistication. Featured on the Magnolia Network as Episode 1 of the design series Design Defined, this home has been nationally recognized for its exceptional craftsmanship and inspired architectural vision. Spanning four levels of refined living, the residence offers five spacious bedrooms plus a versatile penthouse that functions as a second family room, guest suite, or home office. Three meticulously landscaped terraces-professionally designed by HD Landscaping-seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces, offering both intimacy and connection to the city beyond. Flooded with natural light, the interiors recall early 20th-century Deco design reinterpreted through a modern, minimalist lens. Every detail tells a story and each space is purpose-built for livable beauty and enduring design. Rich mahogany millwork defines nearly every room-from coffered ceilings to full wood-paneled walls-creating warmth and continuity throughout. Other architectural details underscore the home's reverence for craftsmanship and material integrity: an elegantly curved staircase, wide-plank quarter-sawn oak floors, and a nine-foot, tiered, book-matched Calacatta Borghini marble fireplace anchoring the living room in perfect symmetry. Bespoke wallcoverings-from Cole & Son Nuvolette to House of Hackney's Phantasia-and buttery suede add depth, texture, and tactility throughout. If the floor plan conveys one message, it's that this is a true entertainer's home. The main level opens with cinematic flair: an expansive living and dining area flows seamlessly into a light-filled kitchen with French doors leading to a bluestone patio. The chef's kitchen, anchored by a 16-foot Tiffany Blue quartzite waterfall island that feels more carved monolith than countertop, pairs a La Cornue range and satin brass hood for a touch of drama. Designed for entertaining, the home features four wet bars thoughtfully placed across multiple floors for effortless hosting. Upstairs, the second level comprises three ensuite bedrooms, including a primary suite with walk-in closet and double vanities. Richly textured and decadent, a paneled office adds a whimsical twist with a wallpapered ceiling and brass built-ins. Juliet balconies off the bedrooms bring the outdoors in, while a second laundry area provides added convenience. The penthouse level offers a sunlit flex space with pitched ceilings, a playful powder room, and access to two rooftop terraces. Downstairs, the lower level transforms into the ultimate leisure zone with a fully outfitted theater room, recreation area, and a fourth bedroom and bath. Completing the home are a mudroom, laundry suite, and two-car garage topped with a rooftop deck-an amenity rarely found in city living. The home is equipped with central audio, zoned heating and cooling, three fireplaces, a fire-suppression system, and radiant heat in all bathrooms and the lower level. Nearly every system and surface has been renewed-windows, doors, roof, HVAC, water heater, and Trex decking-offering the peace of mind of new construction with the sophistication of professional design. Blending tranquility with city energy, this residence sits within the award-winning Ravenswood School District, moments from parks, cafes, and Chicago's renowned French and German schools. Executed with exceptional craftsmanship and material richness, this Graceland West masterpiece represents the pinnacle of Chicago living.
