In a city where true rarity is increasingly hard to find, this Andersonville residence offers a level of living that is genuinely difficult to come by. Set on an exceptional 165-foot-deep lot nearly 40 feet longer than a standard Chicago parcel. Rarely found on the city grounds are a heated pool, a hot tub, a newly desighed one bedroom guest house with its own full kitchen and washer and dryer and a two-car garage. From the moment you step inside, the energy of the city fades away. This is a full-scale custom reconstruction by MK Builders, where every finish, material and system was selected without compromise, well beyond what any standard builder would deliver.
