919 W. WISCONSIN | HISTORY

LIVEANDPLAYINCHICAGO.COM • JENNIFERAMES.COM

HIStORY

Built circa 1879, this attractive brick home was once owned by Chicago's first mayor, William B. Ogden. The building was later gutted to its solid brick, limestone and oak core and reborn as the first detached, two-unit condominium in Illinois. 919 W. Wisconsin, the larger of two fee-simple, side-by-side townhomes, became the sponsor's residence and underwent a complete renovation.

In 2005, it was classified as an "historically contributing" property by the Chicago Landmarks Commission Survey. The home is located in the Sheffield Historic District, which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

The historic distinctions of the property leave the title unrestricted and provide tax benefits to the homeowner.

919 W. Wisconsin was the recipient of the KEY Award from the Home Builders Association for urban gentrification. It was featured as "The Bissell Street Pump" in Bob Vila's This Old House as well as in Professional Builder, the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago magazine and Chicago Collection magazine.

LOCATION | 919 W. WISCONSIN


LOCAtION

919 W. Wisconsin is located in Lincoln Park’s RANCH Triangle Community Conservation Association. This proactive neighborhood group was founded in 1963 as a nonprofit community organization representing the residents and businesses in the area. The RANCH Triangle is bordered by Armitage Avenue, North Avenue, Halsted and essentially Clybourn, each of which are home to numerous boutiques, restaurants, bars and amenities. Two blocks away are the renowned Charlie Trotters and Alinea restaurants, both consistently ranked among the world's top 50 by Restaurant magazine. One block away is the Old Town School of Folk Music, the largest community arts school in the nation. Three blocks away are Chicago's best stage theaters including the award-winning Steppenwolf and The Royal George.

Offering easy access to downtown, the Armitage Avenue Brown and Purple Line "L" station is just one block north, as is the free Lincoln Park Trolley which runs weekends and holidays during summers. Several bus lines are also conveniently located nearby, and the 90/95 Kennedy Expressway with swift access to the Loop and O'Hare Airport is just a five minute drive away.

LIVING ROOM

MAIN LEVEL

You enter the home via a covered limestone foyer. The center entry brings you into a spacious foyer with guest closet and powder room.

A step down takes you into the home’s living room with dramatic ceiling height, wood-burning fireplace and glass wall overlooking a professionally landscaped garden oasis.

A formal dining room is located on the other side of the foyer, adjoining an eat-in kitchen with new stainless steel appliances.

The back door leads out to the garden, garage and secure alley access. The hall by the back door is the perfect spot to hang a coat.

PRE CERtIFIEd FOR EASy FINANCING

Note that this fee-simple home is part of a two-unit condominium association, putting it in a unique property class that can be confusing for some lenders. For the buyer’s convenience, the seller worked with Senior Mortgage Banker John Gusweiler Poast at Chicago Bancorp to have the home Pre-Certified under current Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and USPAP guidelines.

For more information, please contact John directly at (312) 738-6242 or [email protected].

LIVE & PLAY | LINCOLN PARK


JUST AROUND THE CORNER...1729 N. Halsted0.3 miles

Feel like dinner and a show? If so, there’s no better start to the evening than with the Mediterranean-influenced, contemporary American cuisine of bOKA. After dining on the simple yet dazzling fare of Chef Giuseppe Tentori (a Food & Wine Best New Chef of 2008) – you can head right down the street to the Steppenwolf theater.

NeighborhoodAmenities

Sai Cafe2010 N. Sheffield0.3 milesFor twenty years, this Lincoln Park gem has specialized in traditional Japanese cuisine and it is considered some of the best in town. Choose from one of 30 varieties of sushi or have meats, fish and vegetables prepared to order sashimi, tempura or teriyaki style.

The Lincoln Park Farmers' MarketArmitage and Orchard0.4 miles

The farmers market is the place to be on Saturday mornings May through October. Area farmers, bakers and other vendors present a lavish spread of fresh picked fruit, veggies, and flowers as well as homemade cheeses, jams and bread. You can show up, grab a crepe and a cup of coffee or cider for breakfast, and stock up on enough locally grown conventional, heirloom and organic produce to last you the week – all in one stop.

Alinea1723 N. Halsted0.4 milesPart celebrity chef and part artist, the award-winning Grant Achatz defies tradition with a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience where diners are “entertained, challenged, and provoked.” Even true foodies will need instructions on how to eat each course, and don’t be surprised by the unmarked location and secret door to gain entry. The prix-fixe “Tour” may be expensive, but well worth it for those who appreciate a culinary adventure.
