Perfectly positioned just blocks from Lincoln Park and Eastern Market, this wide and light-filled bayfront home offers exceptional scale and flexibility. Offering over 2,700 square feet, this thoughtfully configured 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence with multiple outdoor spaces blends historic charm with modern versatility.

The sun-filled home features warm wood floors, a gracious deep living room, a fireplace and a sleek open kitchen that flows effortlessly to a rear porch and professionally landscaped patio — an outdoor retreat rarely found on the Hill. Upstairs enjoy 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with another rear porch overlooking the gardens.

Designed with adaptability in mind, the home includes a renovated two-bedroom, one-bath lower-level with its own kitchen, living area, and private front and rear entrances. Ideal for extended living, guest quarters, au pair suite, or income-producing rental. The home is currently opened up to be one house and can stay this way or can easily convert back to a two-unit.

A seamless blend of historic scale and contemporary living with unbeatable proximity to Lincoln Park, Eastern Market, and neighborhood favorites.
