2141 N. Clifton is a panoply of understated elegance at its finest. The four-story brick home with its stately Silverdale limestone façade sits on a 25 x 125 foot lot on the east side of Clifton, a classic Lincoln Park street known for its generous setbacks. Abundant natural sunlight fills the home and 11 1/2-foot ceilings on the main level and high ceilings throughout enhance its large, open floor plan. Other highlights include a winding staircase with iron and brass balustrades, an English-style hand-glazed kitchen, 1 3/4 inch thick, eight-foot doors with Ribbon & Reed lever lock sets, mahogany and French limestone floors, custom-profiled casings and extensive ceiling detail, paneling and trim on every level. The home was designed by on of Chicago’s most prominent residential architects, Tim LeVaughn of Melrose Partners, a highly regarded design-build boutique firm in the city. Modern conveniences complement the home’s classic elegance and include a snow melt system in the courtyard and front stairs, a handsomely outfitted, four-stop elevator, a security system and controlled lighting. The home is pre-wired for an integrated technological and mechanical system offering computer networking, lighting, HVAC, A/C and security management through touch screen controls. 2141 N. Clifton offers abundant outdoor space. A large, front courtyard and terraces off of every level, including front and back terraces off the third level’s conservatory and a large garage terrace with a wood-burning fireplace, create an ideal flow of indoor-outdoor living. The home’s grandness and location provide unfettered views of Chicago’s skyline from the third level, which is bathed in sunlight from all directions. |
