From the moment you arrive at the wrought iron gate of 1319, the experience begins, unfolding through the front door into a dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass-encased vestibule. At the heart of the home is a spectacular newly designed chef's kitchen that seamlessly combines beauty and functionality. A stunning oversized porcelain-topped Amish-crafted island serves as the centerpiece, surrounded by a suite of luxury appliances including Thermador, Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele, Dacor, and Fisher & Paykel. Thoughtful details such as a walk-in pantry, wraparound window seating, coffered ceilings, and herringbone hardwood flooring elevate the space even further. The second level preserves the soul of the original home with rich rosewood-paneled walls and ceilings, offering warmth and authenticity rarely found today. Three ensuite bedrooms provide exceptional comfort, including a tranquil primary suite with sweeping views of the fountain and pool. Designed with entertaining in mind, the lower level delivers an entirely unique experience. A recreation room with original stone fireplace and wide-plank flooring sets the stage for gathering, while the custom bunk room-with four built-in bunks featuring integrated lighting, storage, and charging stations-creates an unforgettable guest retreat. The spa-inspired locker room with dual showers, double vanities, custom lockers, and striking circular tile detail was thoughtfully designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living after long summer days by the pool. Beyond the interiors, the grounds rival those of a private resort. A magnificent circular pool surrounded by tiered natural stone terraces becomes the focal point for entertaining and relaxation, offering a setting unlike anything else on the North Shore. This is more than a home-it is an experience. Rich in history, once owned by legendary toy designer Marvin Glass who created Lite Brite, Operation, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em and other childhood favorites, an architectural pedigree, and thoughtful design, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a rare opportunity to own one of Evanston's most distinctive and unforgettable properties.

**A Landmark Reimagined ** *Italianate Residence, Circa 1878 - Portions Predating the Great Chicago Fire* Set within Lincoln Park's Mid-North Historic District - a Chicago Landmark district since 1977, known for its exceptional continuity of scale and craftsmanship - this residence is a rare study in architectural preservation. In 2017, it received the **Chicago Landmark Preservation Excellence Award**, recognition of a restoration led by Foster Dale Architects. Built in the 1880s, with portions predating the Great Chicago Fire, the home was once threatened with demolition. Its exterior has since been meticulously restored: a full-width front porch rebuilt from historical evidence, arched-top windows returned to their original configuration, and original cedar wood clapboard siding uncovered beneath decades of aluminum cladding and carefully repaired. Inside, **4,500 square feet** of living space offers an entirely different experience - open, light-filled, and designed for modern life. The home was reconverted from a two-flat to a single-family residence with a rear addition. Five bedrooms and three and a half baths are arranged across thoughtfully composed levels, including a writing studio with its own deck, a lower-level music room, bar and a walkout basement opening onto a private backyard. A rooftop deck off the primary suite adds a quiet retreat above the treetops. Sustainable systems bring modern comfort into the historic frame, including geothermal heating and cooling, high-performance insulation and air sealing, and salvaged materials incorporated throughout the build. A short walk from Lincoln Park public and private schools, some of the best restaurants in the city, excellent local groceries, Oz Park, the Zoo or the beach. A landmark home, honored for its preservation, and reimagined for the way you live today.
