This urban contemporary style home is located at 1837 N Winchester Avenue in Chicago, IL and is situated on a double lot. It features an open concept floor plan with floor to ceiling windows and exotic woods throughout. There are bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 2-story glass atrium, eat-in gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, living room that flows into the dining room, family room, finished lower level, large deck with flat yard and an attached 2.5 car garage with swimming pool and hot tub above; what a neat idea! It is listed at $3,995,000. This is a really nice contemporary home, something I’m not usually fond of. I absolutely love that kitchen and the open concept floor plan flows nicely without being too open. Put it on a larger plot of land and it would be even better!
